Understanding the Need for Fall Protection
Openings on roofs are often underestimated, yet they are crucial for safety. Workers navigating the center of a roof may feel a false sense of security due to their distance from the edge. However, if they are carrying equipment or concentrating on their tasks, it’s easy to misstep and fall through an opening. Statistics in the USA show that more people fall through skylights than over the roof’s edge, highlighting the importance of securing these vulnerable areas.
