Kee Mark® Pathway Guidance System

Kee Mark® uses a simple combination of weighted bases, galvanised uprights and high-visibility chains to create a continuous demarcated route.

The modular construction allows the layout to follow the requirements of the building rather than restricting users to a standard configuration.

Heavy-Duty PVC Bases - Each Kee Mark® upright is supported by a heavy-duty 25kg recycled PVC base.

The weighted design provides stability without requiring the standard system to be permanently fixed through the roof surface or floor.

This can be particularly beneficial on commercial rooftops where avoiding unnecessary penetrations can help protect the existing roof covering.

Galvanised Uprights - Kee Mark® uses 1100mm galvanised steel uprights to create a clearly visible barrier above the walking surface.

The uprights are galvanised for durability and are suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor environments.

High-Visibility Chains - Posts can be connected using single or double high-visibility polyurethane chains.

Unlike markings placed directly onto the floor or roof surface, the raised chains make the designated route more immediately visible to people moving through the area.

Modular Kee Klamp® Connections - Kee Klamp® fittings allow the system to be assembled and dismantled without welding.

This modular construction also makes future alterations considerably easier. If the roof layout or access requirements change, sections can be repositioned or extended rather than requiring an entirely new fabricated system.

Large commercial and industrial roofs can contain substantial areas where workers have no obvious route to follow.

A maintenance engineer arriving through a roof hatch or ladder may need to cross a large roof area before reaching an HVAC unit, solar installation, ventilation system or other piece of plant.

The Kee Mark® Pathway Guidance System can establish a clearly identifiable route from the roof access point to the required working area.

A typical route could follow:

Roof access point → designated Kee Mark® pathway → rooftop plant or equipment → protected working area → return route to roof exit

This can help reduce unnecessary movement around the roof and make it easier for employees and contractors to understand where they are expected to walk.

Routes to HVAC Equipment - Air conditioning and ventilation systems frequently require inspections, servicing and repairs. Kee Mark® can provide a designated route between the roof access point and these maintenance areas where demarcation is an appropriate control measure.

Routes to Solar Panels - Solar installations can substantially increase the amount of maintenance activity taking place on a roof.

Where conditions allow, Kee Mark® can guide solar technicians towards designated maintenance areas while helping prevent unnecessary movement around other parts of the rooftop.

Routes to Rooftop Plant - Boilers, communications equipment, extract systems and other rooftop plant can all require periodic maintenance.

A permanent demarcated pathway can make the expected access route obvious each time the roof is used.

Access Across Large Flat Roofs - Large warehouses, factories and commercial buildings can have expansive flat roofs.

Kee Mark® provides a practical way of defining where workers should travel without installing physical guardrail around every pathway, provided the proposed route remains suitable for demarcation rather than requiring physical fall protection.

One of the main benefits of the Kee Mark® Pathway Guidance System is its versatility.

It can be used for rooftop applications as well as ground-level industrial and commercial demarcation.

Commercial Rooftops - Office buildings and commercial premises often contain rooftop air conditioning, ventilation and communication equipment.

Kee Mark® can establish designated routes for facilities teams and specialist contractors who need periodic access.

Industrial Rooftops - Factories and industrial facilities can contain extensive rooftop plant.

Demarcated routes can help workers navigate between access points and maintenance areas without unnecessarily entering other areas of the roof.

Warehouses & Distribution Centres - Large warehouse roofs can contain rooflights, solar arrays, ventilation systems and other equipment.

Where appropriate, Kee Mark® can provide visible pathway guidance across these extensive roof areas.

At ground level, the system can also be used to create controlled zones and pedestrian routes.

Manufacturing Facilities - Kee Mark® can be used indoors to identify restricted areas, machinery zones and designated pedestrian routes within manufacturing environments.

Rooftop Plant & Equipment - Where equipment is positioned in a safe area away from exposed edges, Kee Mark® can provide a clearly defined route from the roof entrance to the equipment.

Solar PV Installations - Solar panels can significantly change how people move around an existing roof.

Kee Mark® can form part of a wider solar roof safety strategy by helping identify designated routes towards panels, inverters and other equipment where demarcation is suitable.

Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities - Hospitals often contain extensive rooftop building services that require ongoing maintenance.

Clearly defined access routes can help maintenance teams and contractors navigate these areas more effectively.

Retail & Commercial Sites - Retail buildings can contain large roofs with HVAC, refrigeration and other building services requiring periodic access.

Kee Mark® provides a visible route for maintenance teams without requiring a permanently fabricated barrier along the entire pathway.

Ground-Level Applications - Kee Mark® is not limited to roofs.

The system can also be used for applications including machinery demarcation, controlled work areas, pedestrian guidance, exhibitions and queue management.

Kee Mark® combines simple modular construction with a highly visible design to provide flexible pathway guidance in a wide variety of environments.

Highly Visible Pathway Guidance - The raised uprights and high-visibility chains create an obvious route that can be seen more readily than markings positioned solely at floor or roof level.

Freestanding Design - Heavy-duty weighted bases allow the standard system to stand independently without permanent attachment to the surface.

This can be particularly useful on rooftops where avoiding unnecessary penetrations is desirable.

Quick to Install - The modular design and Kee Klamp® fittings allow the system to be assembled without welding or complicated fabrication.

Easy to Reconfigure - If plant is relocated or the required access route changes, Kee Mark® can be dismantled and repositioned.

Sections can also be extended or shortened as site requirements evolve.

Indoor & Outdoor Applications - Galvanised uprights and robust weighted bases allow Kee Mark® to be used in a wide variety of workplace environments.

Durable Construction - The system combines galvanised steel components with heavy-duty PVC bases for long-term use.

Easy to Transport & Store - Kee Mark® can be dismantled into individual components, making the system easier to transport and store when it is not required.

Custom Colour Options - Where a particular colour scheme is required, tubes and connectors can be powder coated in RAL colours on request.

This can be useful for corporate branding, zoning or site-specific visual requirements.

Safesite provides complete roof safety and safe access solutions for commercial, industrial and public-sector buildings throughout the UK.

Rather than simply supplying a demarcation product, we can assess how workers actually access and move around your roof before identifying the most appropriate combination of systems.

Our services can include:

• Roof safety surveys
• Access assessments
• Kee Mark® Pathway Guidance Systems
• Roof edge protection
• Rooftop walkways
• Step overs and access platforms
• Skylight protection
• Fall restraint and fall arrest systems
• Installation
• Inspection and maintenance
• Ongoing roof safety support

This integrated approach allows Kee Mark® to form part of a wider roof access strategy where required.
