As the push for renewable energy grows, solar panel installations on rooftops have become increasingly common. With this surge in demand, there is a growing need for enhanced safety measures to protect workers during both installation and maintenance procedures. The Hilmerson Safety Rail System™ offers a robust solution to these challenges, ensuring the safety of workers while maintaining the integrity and efficiency of solar panel installations.
The Risks of Rooftop Solar Installations
Rooftop solar installations come with inherent risks due to the heights involved. Workers installing or maintaining solar panels are often exposed to significant fall hazards. With the solar panels themselves being a trip hazard, the risk of trip and fall injuries is high during solar work. A simple warning line only does just that, warn.
Why Perimeter Protection is Essential
Given the complications with other forms of fall protection, perimeter safety solutions are crucial. The Hilmerson Safety Rail System™ offers an effective way to safeguard workers by providing a secure barrier around the edge of the roof. This system ensures that workers can move freely within the protected area to get their work done safely.
