WHY ARE SKYLIGHTS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS?

Skylights are frequently used in both residential and commercial construction because they offer energy savings and the benefit of natural sunlight. Unfortunately, they are also potentially dangerous to anyone in their vicinity. When not properly installed and easily visible they can lead to serious injury or even death to construction workers, homeowners, or anyone visiting a commercial establishment.

What Injuries Do Skylight Falls Cause?

According to reports, approximately 22 percent (14 of 64) of the fatal falls reported to state occupational safety and health officials occurred when workers fell through skylight openings or smoke-vent skylights.

In 2010, 30 workers lost their lives as a result of falling through a skylight or opening in a roof, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

While these numbers are startling enough, they only account for a fraction of the people who are injured each year in a skylight fall. Anyone who works on the roof of a building near a skylight is potentially at risk of suffering a life-threatening injury.

What Are Skylight Safety Rules?

A lot of people don’t know about skylight safety rules that even when they’re a victim of dangerous skylight, they let it slip away. Unless you hire the best slip and fall lawyer, you won’t be able to know your legal options and obtain compensation for your injuries. 

Employing safety measures can dramatically reduce the risk of a potentially deadly fall. Conversely, failing to proactively incorporate safety measures into the installation and maintenance of a skylight will increase the likelihood of an injury occurring. 

The risk of injury from a skylight fall is serious enough that the federal government has enacted specific rules intended to prevent skylight fall injuries. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has concluded that “a skylight should be regarded as a hatchway, i.e., an opening in the roof of a building through which persons may fall. As such, the following safety rules apply:

Training by employers is also highly recommended by the NIOSH to ensure that workers are able to recognize the serious dangers posed by falls through roof openings as well as the risk involved in sitting or stepping on skylights. In addition, skylight manufacturers also have an obligation to post warning stickers on skylights advising people of the inherent dangers posed by sitting or stepping on skylights.

Sadly, far too many property owners and employers fail to follow the numerous governmental recommendations regarding skylight safety. As a result, thousands of innocent people have been seriously injured, even killed, by falling through unguarded and camouflaged skylights.
