Kee Guard Galvanized Steel Roof Railing System
Fall Protection that Does Not Penetrate the Roof Membrane
Why use a railing system for fall protection on a low slope roof?
- A guardrail system removes the risk of workers reaching a position from which they could enter into a free fall situation.
- There is no training involved - everybody knows how to use railings.
- It is the safest way to provide fall protection for people who work near the roof edge according to many safety consultants.
- No annual inspections, maintenance, training, additional equipment or other hidden costs.
What are some other benefits of KeeGuard® Fall Protection Railing System?
- No penetration of the roof membrane. Therefore no possibility of a leaking roof and expensive repairs
- Collective fall protection. This means that the number of people that can be on a roof safely is only limited by the size and strength of the roof.
- Simple counterbalance construction of KeeGuard® fall protection system makes installation easy and straightforward
- In all safety matters the simpler the solution the better. KeeGuard® fall protection railing system should always be considered when possible when choosing a fall protection system
Permanent Solution for Roof Edge Safety
Safety recommendations for the protection of maintenance personnel in countries all over the world are moving to a "hierarchy of safety" where collective fall prevention solutions, as provided by The KeeGuard® system, are preferred over singular fall protection alternatives such as harnesses and wire systems. Collective fall prevention and fall protection can be achieved with the use of the KeeGuard® galvanized metal safety railing system. Lifeline, fall restraint, and fall arrest systems require individual equipment and specialized training. The KeeGuard® system acts as a passive barrier and protects all personnel, even those who may access the rooftop infrequently. The KeeGuard® Roof Edge Railing System works along side your existing personal fall protection devices.
KeeGuard® Offers Flexibility and Custom Solutions
The KeeGuard® modular component system offers maximum flexibility for your rooftop configuration. Almost any flat or low slope roof up to 3 degrees can be accommodated by galvanized metal safety railings. Your individually engineered KeeGuard® Fall Protection System can be used for bi-level or multi-level roofs, can be adapted to varying angle or circular configurations, and can be customized to accommodate ladderways, rooftop equipment, or other rooftop obstructions.
