In modern industrial and commercial buildings, skylights and polycarbonate sheets are commonly used to allow natural light into large factory or warehouse spaces. While these transparent or translucent sheets improve daytime lighting and energy efficiency, they also introduce a serious safety hazard — especially on rooftops.
Polycarbonate skylights are not load-bearing surfaces. They are prone to cracking, brittleness over time, and can easily give way under the weight of a person. In fact, even a minor misstep on a skylight panel can lead to a fall, resulting in serious injury or death. That’s why implementing a skylight fall protection system is not optional — it's essential.
Many rooftop maintenance activities such as HVAC servicing, inspections, or cleaning require workers to access the roof area. Often, skylights are not clearly visible or marked, making them a hidden danger during routine movement. Additionally, polycarbonate roofs exposed to UV rays and environmental elements tend to weaken, losing their strength over time.
This combination of invisibility and fragility turns skylight zones into high-risk fall areas. Accidents involving unprotected polycarbonate skylights are unfortunately common — and preventable.
To address this critical need, Geometric Steels has engineered a specialized fall protection system for polycarbonate roofs. Our system is designed to safeguard workers from falling through skylight sheets while ensuring long-term performance and durability.
This polycarbonate fall protection system is installed directly beneath skylight panels and securely anchored to the purlins using heavy-duty self-tapping and self-drilling screws. With a minimum of four anchors on each side, the mesh remains stable even under high stress.
Custom-fit Design: Tailored to match the span and layout of your roof.
Tested Load Capacity: Supports up to ~110 kg, sufficient to prevent falls through fragile skylight areas.
Corrosion-Resistant Build: Manufactured with weatherproof materials that withstand harsh outdoor conditions.
Minimal Visual Impact: Fits discreetly under skylight sheets without obstructing natural light.
Compliance-Friendly: Helps organizations meet workplace safety regulations and reduce liability.
Whether you’re managing an industrial facility, a logistics hub, or a production plant, our fall protection system for polycarbonate roofs adds a vital layer of safety without compromising aesthetics or functionality.
In a recent installation, the skylight purlin span measured 1.79 meters — a typical scenario in many industrial sheds. Our skylight fall protection system was tested under working conditions and proved effective in preventing a fall. It acted as a reliable safety net, holding the worker’s weight in case of an accidental slip onto a brittle polycarbonate panel.
This performance is not just theoretical — it’s backed by field-tested durability and customer trust across industries.
With over 18 years of expertise in metal roofing, ventilation, and safety solutions, Geometric Steels is trusted by industries, architects, and consultants alike.
