Case Study: Enhancing Roof Safety with Kee Guard® for Major Construction Firm

The client was engaged in maintenance work on several residential blocks and sought Safesite’s recertification services. During the initial assessment, it was discovered that one of the residential blocks lacked adequate edge protection. Safesite advised the client on the necessity of this safety feature. Following the recertification of several other local buildings, the client enquired about safe access solutions for the roof area of the building without adequate edge protection.

The critical challenge was to provide a safe access solution quickly to avoid delays in the ongoing maintenance work. Given the urgency, a remote survey was necessary to expedite the process and deliver the required solution without compromising safety or quality.

Safesite initiated the project with a remote survey due to the tight timeline. Using the drawings and plans provided by the client, Safesite confirmed the measurements digitally. This approach enabled rapid decision-making and planning, ensuring that the client's schedule remained unaffected.

Based on the survey findings, Safesite recommended installing a full free-standing edge protection system using the Kee Guard solution. The Kee Guard system provides comprehensive collective protection without penetrating the roof surface, making it an ideal solution for safeguarding the maintenance team and subcontractors. Key features of the Kee Guard system include:

• Non-penetrative design: Ensures the integrity of the roof surface is maintained.
• Collective protection: Provides safety for multiple users simultaneously.
• Compliance: Fully compliant with the latest BS 13700 2021 standards.
• Quick Installation: Allows for rapid deployment with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

The installation of the Kee Guard edge protection system was completed efficiently, allowing the client to continue their scheduled maintenance work without any disruption. The client was provided with a customised safety solution that offered secure and safe access to the roof, protecting the maintenance team and subcontractors during their work. The non-penetrative design of the Kee Guard system also ensured that the roof surface remained intact, avoiding the need for any future repairs or waterproofing issues.

The client was highly impressed with Safesite’s rapid turnaround and the quality of the installation. The effective communication and quick, disturbance-free installation ensured that the client could continue their maintenance works without any delays.

Safesite’s commitment to delivering high-quality roof safety systems and edge protection solutions was key to the successful completion of this project. The Kee Guard system provided the client with a compliant, reliable, and swift solution, ensuring ongoing safety and operational efficiency.
