Why Us?
Working at heights presents significant dangers, especially on rooftops where conditions can be unpredictable. From slippery surfaces to steep pitches, the health and safety risks are numerous. To combat these hazards, it's essential to implement robust roof safety systems that protect workers and ensure compliance with safety regulations. One such system that stands out in the industry is Kee Walk, a modular walkway solution specifically designed to provide safe, anti-slip access across various roof types.
Roof safety systems are crucial for any facility where personnel working on rooftops require access. These systems are designed for fall prevention, utilising various systems and equipment to prevent falls, protect workers, and maintain the structural integrity of the roof by minimising damage from foot traffic. Walkway systems are also essential as they provide safe access across the entire roof area, enhancing overall fall protection and safety management. Common components of roof safety systems include guardrail systems, fall arrest systems, safe access platforms, and walkways like Kee Walk, which offer a safe path across roof surfaces.
The significance of roof safety systems cannot be overstated. Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities. A well-implemented rooftop safety system not only prevents falls but also helps businesses adhere to legal safety requirements, thereby reducing liability and maintaining operational efficiency. These systems address various fall hazards, including slips, trips, and falls, by offering secure pathways and protecting against unguarded edges. Identifying and addressing fall hazards is crucial to ensure a safer working environment.
Fall restraint systems play a vital role in preventing workers from reaching hazardous edges, thereby eliminating the potential for falls. These systems, combined with personal protective equipment (PPE) and proper training, are essential for maintaining safety, especially in high-risk environments like rooftops.
Kee Walk is an innovative product designed to enhance roof safety by providing a stable, non-slip walkway. This system is adaptable for membrane, asphalt, metal, and composite roofs, making it a versatile solution for many industries. The system’s modular design allows for easy installation and customisation, ensuring that it can be tailored to meet the specific needs of any rooftop environment.
Kee Walk offers several key features that make it an indispensable part of any fall protection system:
Kee Walk plays a crucial role in accident prevention by providing a clearly defined, stable walkway on rooftops. By guiding workers along a safe path, Kee Walk reduces the likelihood of accidental falls caused by slips or trips on unstable surfaces. Additionally, Kee Walk can be integrated with other safety systems, such as guardrails, fall arrest systems, and personal fall protection equipment, to create a comprehensive fall protection strategy. This integrated approach ensures that workers are safeguarded at all times, whether they are moving across the roof or performing maintenance tasks on equipment like air conditioning units.
Ensuring the safety of workers on rooftops is not just a regulatory obligation—it’s a commitment to their well-being. Kee Walk offers a robust solution that not only provides safe access but also protects the integrity of your roof. Its modular design, anti-slip surface, and compliance with safety standards make it a vital component of any roof safety system.
