Case Study: Kee Guard Installation for a Commercial Banking Facility

Following the site survey, Safesite recommended the installation of a full freestanding Kee Guard® edge protection system around the roof perimeter.

Kee Guard was selected because it provided the ideal combination of safety, compliance, and installation efficiency:

• Collective protection for maintenance teams and contractors accessing the roof.
• A non-penetrative, freestanding design that preserved the roof membrane and avoided potential future leak risks.
• Full compliance with the latest BS 13700:2012 standards for permanent guardrail systems.
• A durable, low-maintenance safety solution suitable for long-term operational use.

To support compliance requirements, Safesite also prepared and supplied windspeed and loading calculations to the client at project handover.

The system was designed to integrate safely with the existing cat ladder access point, ensuring controlled and secure movement onto the roof area.

Safesite coordinated closely with the client and principal contractor to ensure all works could be completed within the required programme timeframe.
Thanks to the collaboration between the Sales and Operations teams, the full supply and installation package was delivered successfully within the two-week target. The installation was carried out efficiently and with minimal disruption to normal building operations.

All elements of the Kee Guard system were installed in accordance with manufacturer specifications and current UK safety standards, ensuring a fully compliant and high-quality finish.
