This project required the installation of Skymesh required approximately 400 linear meters of the safety guard system. Skymesh was chosen because it was specifically developed to address the inherent problem of falls through translucent roof lights, a cause of numerous incidents, including preventable fatalities. Unlike underside mesh intended for construction worker protection or insulation support, Skymesh provides 100% fall protection when installed on top of roof lights.

The use of 75mm x 75mm galvanized 4mm wire mesh ensures durability and allows the system to be visually checked annually as part of a robust Roof Management Plan.

This project had severe brittle roof-lights and potential fall through hazards. Installing Skymesh on their roof lights as a permanent solution addressed a neglected application that could otherwise have significant consequences, fulfilling the PCBUs primary duty of care under the HASW Act 2015 to eliminate or minimize risks. This project serves as a leading example of how property owners and facility managers can proactively manage roof safety, extending beyond guardrails or anchor points to comprehensively control fall hazards.
