Cal/OSHA and Skylight Fall-Protection Rules
In response to a petition filed by the solar industry, the California Occupational Safety & Health Standards Board (Cal/OSHA) has convened a formal advisory committee to consider if changes are warranted to California’s existing fall-protection safety standards for work around roof-top skylights.
Specifically, the solar industry is asserting that the existing safety standards are out of date and should be amended to account for the temporary nature of solar-installation work and the significant advancements in skylight construction technology. There appears to be evidence supporting a change, however, our industry will be supporting a focused fix to this issue as opposed to a complete rewrite of the entire set of fall-protection standards for work being performed near a skylight.
The California Business Properties Association and California Building Industry Association have representatives on this Advisory Committee representing the commercial and residential real estate industries.
