Skylight Safety Grill Installation for Fall Protection
A skylight safety grill is a steel mesh or bar panel fixed beneath or above a roof light to stop anyone falling through it. Translucent skylight sheets look like part of the roof, particularly when dusty, but they become brittle with age and can break under a single step. Falls through skylights are among the most serious risks in roof work.
Leak Lock Insulation Contracting fabricates and installs safety grills on warehouse and factory roofs to provide skylight fall protection in the UAE. Building owners, facility managers and safety officers use this service to protect maintenance staff, AC technicians, cleaners and anyone else who has reason to be on the roof.
When Skylight Safety Grills Are Needed
For example, clients contact us for one or more of the following reasons.
- People access the roof: maintenance, cleaning or AC servicing takes place.
- Aged skylights: sheets are yellowed, brittle or cracked.
- Skylights look like roof sheets: dust makes them hard to tell apart.
- Safety audit findings: an inspection has flagged unprotected roof lights.
- Roof works planned: contractors will be working at height.
- Security concerns: skylights are a possible point of entry.
