Kee Dome® Raised Skylight Protection

Kee Dome® Raised Skylight Protection is a freestanding guardrail system designed to protect workers from falling through fragile rooflights and skylights.

Unlike rooflight covers that sit directly over the opening, Kee Dome creates a protective barrier around the rooflight itself. This prevents workers from inadvertently approaching dangerous areas while maintaining visibility and access for maintenance activities.

The system is commonly used to protect:

• Raised skylights
• Dome rooflights
• Fragile roof openings
• Rooftop access routes
• Maintenance work areas

Because Kee Dome provides collective fall protection, it protects all users without requiring harnesses, lanyards, or specialist training.

Freestanding Design - Kee Dome uses a freestanding guardrail system that surrounds the rooflight without requiring attachment to the roof structure.

Recycled PVC Base Units - Weighted recycled PVC bases provide system stability while eliminating the need for roof penetration.

Adjustable Clamping Rings - The system can be adapted to accommodate different rooflight sizes and configurations.

Modular Guardrail Structure - The modular design allows Kee Dome to be installed around a wide variety of raised skylights and dome rooflights.

Non-Penetrative Installation - Because the system does not require drilling into the roof membrane, it helps preserve roof warranties and waterproofing integrity.

Commercial Roofs - Office buildings and commercial properties use Kee Dome systems to protect maintenance personnel working near rooflights.

Industrial Facilities - Factories and manufacturing plants often contain multiple rooflights that require permanent protection.

Schools and Universities - Educational facilities benefit from collective protection systems that safeguard both staff and contractors.

Hospitals and Healthcare Buildings - Healthcare environments often require frequent rooftop access for plant maintenance and servicing.

Warehouses and Distribution Centres - Large warehouse roofs frequently incorporate skylights that present fall hazards during maintenance activities.

Solar Panel Maintenance Routes - Kee Dome systems help create safer access routes around rooftop solar installations.

Prevents Falls Through Fragile Rooflights - Kee Dome creates a physical barrier that prevents workers from accidentally accessing hazardous areas.

No Roof Penetration Required - The non-penetrative design protects roof membranes and minimises installation disruption.

Collective Protection Solution - Unlike personal fall arrest systems, Kee Dome protects everyone on the roof simultaneously.

Suitable for Existing Buildings - The system can be retrofitted to most commercial and industrial rooftops.

Quick Installation - The modular design allows for efficient installation with minimal disruption.

Low Maintenance - Manufactured from durable materials, Kee Dome requires minimal ongoing maintenance.

Long Service Life - The robust construction ensures reliable long-term performance in demanding environments.

Work at Height Regulations 2005 - Employers have a legal duty to prevent falls wherever reasonably practicable.

Kee Dome systems help organisations meet these obligations by providing collective rooflight protection.

BS EN ISO 14122-3 - Kee Dome systems are designed to align with recognised standards for permanent means of access and safety barriers.

Fragile Roof Risk Management - Rooflights are classified as fragile surfaces in many situations, requiring suitable protective measures.

HSE Hierarchy of Control - The Health and Safety Executive prioritises collective protection systems over personal fall arrest equipment whenever possible.

Regular inspections help ensure rooflight protection systems remain effective and compliant.

Recommended practices include:

• Routine visual inspections
• Annual inspections by a competent person
• Assessment of guardrail stability
• Checking base units and connections
• Maintaining inspection records

Regular maintenance helps maximise system lifespan and ongoing safety performance.
