Kee Walk Roof Walkway System

Kee Walk is a modular rooftop walkway system designed to create safe access routes across roof surfaces. The system provides a stable, anti-slip platform that guides workers along designated pathways while protecting fragile roofing materials and reducing the risk of accidents.

Kee Walk systems are commonly installed on commercial and industrial rooftops where maintenance personnel require regular access to plant equipment or other rooftop installations.

Typical Kee Walk systems include:

• Modular walkway platforms
• Anti-slip walking surfaces
• Support brackets or mounting systems
• Adjustable components that adapt to roof layouts

Because Kee Walk systems create clearly defined access routes, they help workers move safely around roofs without walking directly on potentially hazardous surfaces.

Safer Rooftop Access: Kee Walk provides a stable and clearly defined path across the roof, helping workers avoid hazards and reducing the risk of slips or trips.

Protects Fragile Roof Areas: Fragile rooflights, skylights, and lightweight roofing materials can pose significant risks. Kee Walk systems help prevent accidental contact with these areas by directing workers along safe routes.

Durable and Weather Resistant: Manufactured from high-quality materials such as aluminium, Kee Walk systems are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while maintaining long-term durability.

Supports Work at Height Compliance: Installing safe rooftop access routes helps organisations demonstrate compliance with work-at-height legislation and safety guidance.

Kee Walk roof walkway systems are widely used across a range of industries where safe rooftop access is required.

Common applications include:

• Rooftops with HVAC equipment or plant installations
• Solar panel installations requiring maintenance access
• Industrial warehouses and manufacturing facilities
• Commercial office buildings
• Public buildings such as schools and hospitals

Any building that requires regular roof inspections or maintenance work can benefit from installing a dedicated rooftop walkway system.

Work at Height Regulations 2005

The Work at Height Regulations require employers to provide safe access to areas where work must be carried out at height. Installing rooftop walkway systems helps organisations meet this requirement by creating designated safe routes across roofs.

Relevant Safety Standards

Roof access systems may align with recognised safety standards such as:

• EN 516 – Roof access equipment
• EN 14122 – Safety of access to machinery

Compliance with recognised standards ensures walkway systems are suitable for safe use in demanding environments.

Every roof presents different safety challenges, which is why Kee Walk systems must be designed to suit the specific building and operational requirements.

Important design considerations include:

• Roof type and structure
• Frequency of rooftop access
• Layout of rooftop equipment
• Weather exposure
• Integration with guardrails and skylight protection

A professional roof safety survey ensures the Kee Walk system is correctly designed and installed for maximum effectiveness.

To ensure long-term safety and compliance, Kee Walk systems should be regularly inspected and maintained.

Best practice typically includes:

• Routine visual checks during roof access
• Annual inspection by a competent person
• Maintaining inspection records for compliance

Regular inspections help identify wear, damage, or movement that could affect walkway safety.

Roof Safety Surveys: Safesite conducts professional roof safety surveys to identify hazards and determine the most suitable walkway system.

Kee Walk Walkway Installation: Experienced engineers install Kee Walk systems safely and efficiently while minimising disruption to site operations.

Compliance Inspections: Safesite provides inspection services to ensure Kee Walk systems remain compliant with safety regulations.

Maintenance & Recertification: Ongoing maintenance and recertification services help maintain system reliability and extend the life of rooftop safety installations.
