ABSTRACT:
A skylight fall protection safety panel formed from a single sheet of metal having a predetermined surface area A1and a plurality of apertures are punched out of at least one central perimeter surface area A3. A2is as great as or greater than 0.60A1. The shape of the apertures can take many different forms but they would have a greatest width D1that is less than 2.0 inches. The central perforated portion has a sufficient number of apertures of a sufficient size that 50 percent of A2is open to pass light therethrough. The sheet metal safety panel would be secured under an existing fiberglass skylight panel. The sheet panel can also be corrugated to match translucent skylight panels that are corrugated. The sheet metal panel can also be inserted into a mold or cast with a top layer of resin material and a bottom layer of resin material and also having the central perforated portion apertures filled with resin. This assembled structure functions both as a skylight panel and also as a fall protection safety panel that will prevent workers stepping on the top of the assembled structure from falling therethrough and injuring themselves.
