NextGen 3000™ Universal Skylight Railing
Description
The NextGen 3000™ Universal Skylight Guardrail provides a freestanding, OSHA-compliant solution for protecting skylights without drilling into the roof membrane. Using the same engineered counterweighted bases found in the NextGen 3000™ Universal Guardrail System, this modular guardrail creates a highly visible protective barrier around skylights while preserving the integrity of the roofing system.
Designed for OSHA Compliance
Skylights are one of the most overlooked fall hazards on commercial rooftops. Even durable skylight domes are not designed to support the weight of a worker, making proper protection essential whenever maintenance personnel, contractors, or inspectors access the roof.
The NextGen 3000™ Universal Skylight Guardrail is designed to help employers comply with OSHA 1910.28(b)(3)(i), which requires protection for skylight openings. Unlike warning lines or temporary barriers, the Universal Skylight Guardrail provides continuous passive protection that remains in place whenever rooftop access is required.

• Single oversized skylights
• Continuous skylight systems and large banks
• Rectangular, dome, or irregularly shaped skylights
