Essential Rooflight Protection
Falls from height, particularly through unprotected skylights and rooflights, are one of the biggest contributors to work at height injury and death statistics in the workplace. However, not everyone working on a roof is a trained roofer. Many people access a roof for other purposes such as for maintenance of plant and equipment, cleaning guttering or for carrying out surveys, so it is essential to ensure that all those accessing a roof can work safely. Skylight Fall Protection systems should be installed on roofs where are unprotected skylights or rooflights.
Building owners and contractors involved in working at height need to ensure they provide suitable fall protection solutions and have appropriate procedures in place before allowing their staff to work in potentially dangerous situations.
