Why do you need Kee Dome Skylight Railing?

Frequently Asked Questions

General

- My skylight is extremely large, will Kee Dome Work?
  
  Yes, Kee Dome’s modular design is able to protect the largest of skylights.
- I need to protect skylights on a metal roof, can I use Kee Dome?
  
  Kee Dome is recommended for use on flat membrane roofs only. We do have custom railing solutions for metal roofs, however, simply contact one of our experts to start solving your problem today.
- Why would I use Kee Dome vs. a skylight screen?
  
  Skylight screens are the most cost effective means of providing OSHA compliant fall protection solutions over skylights. In some cases, however, the skylight is too large or tall to install a screen. In these cases Kee Dome is the perfect solution. Additionally, in some cases clients are concerned about the grid-shadow a screen would create on the inside of the building and decide to use Kee Dome to eliminate this concern.
- I have bars on the inside of my skylight, are these fall protection?
  
  The bars welded inside of a skylight are commonly known as “burglar bars” and are designed to keep thieves out of your facility, not to protect from the impact of a fall. Furthermore, these bars do not protect workers or equipment below the opening from being struck by shards of the broken dome or potential biological contaminants should an impact occur. Kee Safety does not recommend using burglar bars as fall protection.
- Do I need to protect every skylight on my roof?
  
  In simple terms, yes. In 1910.28(b)(3)(i) OSHA states that employees must be protected from any hole 4' or higher above a lower level. However, we recommend partnering with a Kee Safety Expert to help prioritize the fall hazards on your roof using a risk-assessment based approach.
