On average 7 people each year are killed after falling through a fragile roof or fragile roof light. These accidents usually occur whilst operatives are carrying out routine maintenance activities on roofs of factories and warehouses.
Overtime skylights can become brittle and discoloured, and can even blend in with the surrounding metal profile roof sheets in bright sunlight, further increasing the chance of walking onto the fragile surface.
Galvanised mesh skylight protection complies with the following standards:
- Class B certification in ACR [M]001:2014 (a test for non-fragility of large element roofing assemblies)
