Building Owners – Are you protected from the liability of someone falling through a skylight on your roof?

WARNING!!  Fatal falls and serious injuries may result from inadequate guarding and fall protection for work around skylights and roof and floor openings.

This could result from workers removing snow off roofs, contractors servicing roof top units, or unauthorized persons accessing your roof.  OSHA can conclude that you have willfully left your skylights unguarded and hold you personally liable.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recent investigations suggest that employers, workers, building owners, skylight designers, and skylight manufacturer’s may not fully recognize or appreciate the serious fall hazards associated with working near skylights and roof and floor openings.  As a result, skylights and roof and floor openings may be left unguarded or uncovered, and workers may be assigned to work around these openings without appropriate fall prevention measures in place.

Protect yourself by protecting your skylights with a skylight metal safety screen.  Superior Services R.S.H., Inc. can easily install these metal screens guards during replacement of your roof or as a stand alone service.
