Preventing Worker Deaths in the Solar Industry As the use of solar energy continues to grow in California and nationally, an increasing number of workers are exposed to unique hazards than can cause injury or death.

FACE has recently investigated the deaths of three solar installers. Hazards that contributed to these deaths include pitched roofs, working too close to the roof’s edge, lack of fall protection, proximity of overhead power lines, and unguarded skylights.



FACE produced four fact sheets (in English and Spanish), three investigation reports, and one digital story (short safety video – see below for more information) to warn solar workers and employers of potential workplace hazards:
