Construction sites and industrial buildings can be dangerous places, especially for firemen in a fire situation. Each year over one hundred people die as a result of falling from roofs.

Frightening through this statistic is, it is actually getting worse! Work related deaths from roof falls have increased from 108 in 1992 to 154 in 2007¹.

Fall protection is supplied as a standard on all APC Dayliter® smoke and heat vents.

• Aluminum bar stock welded to retaining angle
• Designed to withstand impact loading in excess of 250 ft.lb impact load

OSHA complaint fall protection is available for all rooftop skylights or smoke vents, regardless if it is an APC unit or not.

Some of the accidents mentioned above occur when people fall through unprotected skylights or smoke vents. This is why OSHA calls for most new and existing bubble type skylights to be retrofitted with fall protection.
