Case Study: Fall Protection Solutions for London Primary School

Project Brief

A large Georgian primary School in SE London, required a complete overhaul of its existing fall protection system. Following a direct approach from the school and a recommendation by Greenwich Council, Safesite conducted an initial site visit to assess the current conditions and review a recent failed asset report.
The initial installation, performed by a third party, was not only non-compliant but also poorly executed, necessitating a full system replacement. This presented unique challenges, including the need for scaffold support to safely execute the removal and replacement, as well as coordination with ongoing roofing refurbishments. Given the importance of a safe, compliant solution for the school, Safesite’s installation was scheduled in conjunction with the roofing works to maximise efficiency and minimise disruption to school operations.

Fall Protection for London Primary School

The Solution 

After evaluating the Primary School's specific safety requirements and site constraints, Safesite implemented a series of high-quality, compliant systems to secure access across the rooftop:

  • Kee Line: This horizontal lifeline system was selected to provide hands-free movement for up to three users simultaneously, ensuring safe, efficient, and compliant access. The Kee Line’s ability to support multiple users enhances safety for maintenance and inspection teams on the roof.
  • Kee Dome: To provide collective fall protection around the school’s skylights, Kee Dome units were installed. This modular system safeguards personnel working near fragile roof lights, ensuring complete protection without compromising accessibility.
  • Kee Klamp: A versatile, corrosion-resistant barrier system, Kee Klamp was installed to support the structure's safety requirements with minimal ongoing maintenance. Its modular design allows for easy adaptation should future modifications be needed.
  • Cabloc Vertical Fall Arrest: For areas requiring vertical access, the Cabloc system was installed. This vertical fall arrest solution enables safe, controlled movement along vertical structures, ensuring a secure environment for maintenance teams and contractors needing vertical access points.

These systems were selected for their long-term durability and compliance with the latest fall protection regulations. Safesite’s comprehensive solution enabled the Primary School to avoid a mix-match approach and instead benefit from a cohesive, unified system that fully adheres to safety standards.

Outcome and Results

The completed project has delivered a safe, robust, and compliant fall protection solution for the London Primary School, addressing both immediate safety needs and future operational requirements:

  • Enhanced Safety: The Kee Line system provides safe, hands-free access across the rooftop, allowing up to three users to operate simultaneously. This flexibility is ideal for maintenance and ensures that essential tasks can be performed efficiently and safely.
  • Longevity and Durability: The installation of Kee Klamp and other corrosion-resistant components provides the school with a long-lasting solution that minimises future maintenance costs and guarantees consistent safety performance over time.
  • Full Compliance: All systems installed by Safesite meet the most current UK height safety regulations. This ensures not only the safety of the school's staff and maintenance teams but also peace of mind for the school’s administration, knowing their facilities are secure and legally compliant.
