Fall protection for metal roof

Occupational safety is an important factor that should never be underestimated. Particularly on metal roofs, which are often several meters above the ground, a lack of safety can result in serious injuries to workers. Long absences and incapacity to work can be the consequences. To prevent falls from roofs with metal roofing, professional fall protection should be installed.

LUX-top® anchor points and rail systems are ideal for installing weather-resistant fall protection systems on roofs with metal cladding. Securely connected to the ground, our systems provide safe support for all users working at height using personal fall protection equipment (PPE).
