Skylight Fall Prevention Page Available on AAMA Site
Information previously included as a fact sheet about avoiding skylight falls has been updated and posted as a web page by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA). This safety-focused web page provides statistics about falls and offers helpful tips for avoiding them.
"The issue of fall protection is not a new one, and every fall fatality is avoidable," said John Westerfield (CrystaLite), chair of the Skylight Fall Protection Task Group, which led efforts to develop the web page. "Fall protection needs to be a continued focus for employers and building owners post-construction, as many non-construction related tradesmen often access flat roofs."
