Safety products for fall protection and guard rails

Featured Product:

The Kee i-bolt is a comprehensive range of Class A1 EN 795 fixed and removable safety anchors, featuring KEYANKA and RINGANKA. Safety eyebolts are ideal for reducing a risk of fall whilst carrying out solo external window cleaning and general maintenance.

This versatile and compact robust solution offers an extra layer of safety when attaching a harness. Embedded deep into the wall with greater strength and hold than a standard loop & hook system, the Kee i-bolt is perfect for solo safety on jobs where other safety products (like scaffolding or railings) are not possible.

Kee i-bolts should be positioned so that the operative can attach their lanyard and safety harness before being at risk, ensuring safe access and personal protection throughout. The ability to have fixed positions as well as removable versions of the product, means that Kee Safety have created something that can truly work on any type of project and environment. A long term job might make you consider the fixed version for the ease and speed of repeat usage, while a one day/one time work means the removable Kee i-bolt system is perfect for easy removal once the job is finished.

Roof Guardrails

As the name implies, the roof guardrails guard against falling from rooftops and are usually fixed at the roof edge. We offer a variety of the Kee Safety Roof Guardrails:

• KeeGuard – A metal roof edge protection. This system works without puncturing the roof membrane.
• KeeGuard Topfix – Utilises a standard base plate with multiple fixing centres to provide roof edge protection for metal roofs and standing seam roofs.
• KeeGuard Premium – Ideal for roofs with a limited space, this Non-penetrative roof edge guardrail without counterweights, complies to EN 13374 Class A, EN ISO 14122 Part 3 & BS 13700.

Safety Gates

Safety gates provide safety for rooftops and are a general protection tool for industrial environments. Safety gates exist in multiple categories, including:

• Kee Gate – A portfolio of self closing safety gates for internal or external applications in rooftop or industrial manufacturing environments.

Lifelines and Anchors

Lifelines and Anchors are for personal protection and anchorage. The lifelines are used in cases where collective protection is either not guaranteed or not suitable. In such cases, personal protection becomes the best option, and these engineered lifelines are best suited for personal protection. The different types of lifelines and anchors include:

• KeeLine – An EN 795:2012 horizontal lifeline providing fall arrest / restraint protection, perfect for when an option with very little visibility is preferred.
• Kee Track – A modular rigid rail overhead track system. Globally tested and particularly effective when users work at short free fall distances, such as carrying out operations on trains, trucks and aircraft with low ground clearances.
• Kee Anchor – A modular dead-weight anchor fall prevention system; Kee Anchor can be used in conjunction with horizontal safety lines and for rope access work.
• Kee i-Bolt – Spider Rope Access’ preferred solution, a comprehensive range of Class A1 EN 795 fixed and removable safety anchors, featuring KEYANKA and RINGANKA. Safety eyebolts are ideal for reducing a risk of fall whilst carrying out solo external window cleaning and general maintenance.

Skylight Fall Protection

The skylight fall protection is Kee Safety equipment designed specifically to prevent falls from skylights or rooflights. Kee Safety Skylight products will help you prevent falls from fragile roofs or through skylights while conducting work on rooftops. There are two categories of skylight fall protection:

• Kee Dome: A free-standing skylight fall protection system for square & rectangular skylights that doesn’t penetrate the roof membrane.
• Kee Cover: Adaptable cover for roof lights on trapezoidal and standing seam roofs.

Safety Railing
