At Kee Safety, our mission is simple: separating people from hazards. And when it comes to working at height, skylights represent one of the most overlooked and dangerous hazards on the roof.
That’s why we’re proud to introduce our newest fall protection innovation: CoverLite, a smart, temporary skylight cover designed to prevent falls through fragile skylights during maintenance, inspection or repair work.
Why Skylight Protection Matters
Skylights are often made from fragile materials, and over time, exposure to weather and UV can weaken their structure. A person stepping or falling onto an unprotected skylight can easily crash through, with serious or even fatal consequences.
Many businesses don’t realise the risk until it’s too late. CoverLite is designed to provide a fast, cost-effective way to mitigate this risk and protect your people.
CoverLite is used in conjunction with a permanently installed fixing pack (to be ordered in addition to the cover). It includes waterproof brackets, rivets, and reusable straps.
What Makes CoverLite Different?
We engineered CoverLite with flexibility and simplicity in mind:
Lightweight & Portable: Easy to carry and move across rooftops.
Durable GRP Build: Tough, reusable construction for long-term use.
Lattice Design: Retains natural light through skylight.
Flexible Coverage: Panels can be used in multiples for full skylight protection.
Fixing Kit: CoverLite is used in conjunction with a permanently installed fixing pack (to be ordered in addition to the cover). It includes waterproof brackets, rivets, and reusable straps.
Quick Installation: Easily fitted and removed keeps installation costs down.
CERTIFIED & TESTED
ACR Red Book (Class B): Withstands a 45kg mass dropped from 1.2m without allowing full penetration.
BS EN 1873: (1200 Joule Impact Test) Retains a 50kg mass dropped from 2.4m; mesh maintain <300mm gaps for safety compliance.
CoverLite has been specifically engineered to reduce fall risks from fragile roof lights, offering temporary protection during essential rooftop work.
Designed for Safety. Backed by Experts.
Like all Kee Safety products, CoverLite has been designed by a team of engineers with deep knowledge of fall protection standards. Every component is rigorously tested and backed by our global safety expertise.
Whether you’re a contractor, facilities manager, or health & safety professional, CoverLite offers a practical and professional way to reduce risk and stay compliant.

CoverLite Skylight Protection FAQs
Below you’ll find answers to the most common technical questions raised by Health & Safety Managers, Project Supervisors, and Facilities teams. From compliance standards to installation details, this FAQ section is here to support safe planning, proper use, and peace of mind on every rooftop project.
CoverLite is tested to:
ACR[M]001:2019 (Red Book) Class B, meaning it can withstand a 45kg mass dropped from 1.2m without full penetration.
BS EN 1873 (1200 Joule Impact Test), demonstrating its strength and compliance for temporary use near fragile roof lights
No. CoverLite is designed as a temporary fall protection solution only. It must be removed after work is completed and is not intended to remain in place permanently.
Each CoverLite panel must be secured with four fixing brackets (one pack per mat). These must be installed individually – brackets cannot be shared between overlapping panels.
Yes, but only along the shorter edge (longitudinal direction). Panels cannot be linked along the longer edge (traversely). Ensure overlaps are present where multiple panels are installed.
No formal product-specific training is required. However, installers must be competent to work at height and follow the installation method statement exactly. Always attach to a structural anchor when installing.
The cover must span the skylight plus one full crown profile on either side, as brackets are installed on adjacent crowns. All four corners of the mat must be securely strapped down.
A pre-use inspection must be carried out before each use. Look for signs of cracking, delamination, missing rivets, and strap wear. Only original straps and fixings may be used.
