Do People Really Die From Falling Through Skylights? YES!


Deaths caused by falls through fragile surfaces occur mainly to those working in the building maintenance sector when carrying out maintenance and cleaning jobs.

Deaths caused by falls through fragile surfaces occur mainly to those working in the building maintenance sector when carrying out maintenance and cleaning jobs.

On average 7 people are killed each year after falling through a fragile roof or fragile roof light. Many others suffer permanent disabling injury. These accidents usually occur on roofs of factories, warehouses and farm buildings when roof repair work or cleaning is being carried out.
