excerpt from Cal-osha regulations:<br />
<strong>CAL</strong>-<strong>OSHA</strong> Amended Section § 3212<br />
(a) (1) Every floor and roof opening shall be<br />
guarded by a cover, a guardrail, or equivalent<br />
on all open sides...<br />
(b) Floor and roof opening covers shall be<br />
designed by a qualified person and be capable<br />
of safely supporting the greater of 400<br />
pounds or twice the weight of the employees,<br />
equipment and materials that may be imposed<br />
on any one square foot area of the cover at<br />
any time. Covers shall be secured in place to<br />
prevent accidental removal or displacement,<br />
and shall bear a pressure sensitized, painted<br />
or stenciled sign with legible letters not less<br />
than one inch high, stating “Opening---Do Not<br />
Remove.” Markings of chalk or keel shall not<br />
be used.<br />
(e) (1) <strong>Skylight</strong>s screens. The design, construction,<br />
and installation of skylight screens shall meet the<br />
strength requirements equivalent to that of covers<br />
specified in subsection (b) above. They shall also<br />
be of such design, construction and mounting<br />
that under design loads and impacts, they will not<br />
deflect downward sufficiently to break the glass<br />
below them. The construction shall be of grillwork,<br />
with openings not more than 4 inches by 4 inches<br />
or of slatwork with openings not more than 2<br />
inches wide with length unrestricted, or of other<br />
material of equal strength and similar<br />
configuration.<br />
Load tests<br />
<strong>Flexible</strong> <strong>Lifeline</strong> <strong>Systems</strong> is dedicated to designing and installing skylight screens that meet the most<br />
current <strong>CAL</strong>-<strong>OSHA</strong> regulations by making sure each skylight screen passes a rigorous line of testing.<br />
Test #1<br />
A dome screen measuring 51.5” in width, 102.5” in depth and having a radius height measured at<br />
15” was loaded and held for 5 minutes. Clearance to the top of the skylight measured 5.5” prior to<br />
load and 1/8” after load application. When load was removed, 1/4” of deflection was measured.<br />
51.5” width<br />
Test #2<br />
A dome screen measuring 52” in width, 54.5” in depth and having a radius hight measured at 15.25”<br />
was load applied to 287 lbs. At this point the screen rested on the skylight surface. The remaining load<br />
of 114.98 lbs. was applied and held for 5 minutes. This caused the skylight to deflect 1-1/16”. When the<br />
load was removed there was no deflection measured.<br />

52” width<br />
Test #3<br />
A flat, rectangular section of screen measuring 42” in width and 124” in length secured to the roof<br />
assembly with a 20 gauge section of channel measuring 2”x1.125” and 132” in length was loaded<br />
and held for 5 minutes. The screen was found to fully rest on the fiberglass skylight with no permanent<br />
deflection noticed upon removal of load.<br />
