KeeGuard®

Safety recommendations for the protection of maintenance personnel in countries all over the world are moving to a “hierarchy of safety” where collective fall prevention solutions, as provided by The KeeGuard® system, are preferred over singular fall protection alternatives such as harnesses and Wire systems. Collective fall prevention and fall protection can be achieved with the use of the KeeGuard® system. Lifeline, fall restraint, and fall arrest systems require individual equipment and specialized training. The KeeGuard® system acts as a passive barrier and protects all personnel, even those who may access the rooftop infrequently. The KeeGuard® Roof Edge Railing System works along side your existing personal fall protection devices.

The KeeGuard® modular component system offers maximum flexibility for your rooftop configuration. Almost any flat or low slope roof up to 3 degrees can be accommodated. Your individually engineered KeeGuard® Fall Protection System can be used for bi-level or multi-level roofs, can be adapted to varying angle or circular configurations, and can be customized to accommodate ladderways, rooftop equipment, or other rooftop obstructions.

KeeGuard® has been independently tested and meets or exceeds the following North America and International Requirements.

KeeGuard® product innovations include a safety compliant fall protection railing system for standing seam metal roofs. This custom designed guardrail will provide proper access to rooftop equipment for maintenance or inspection, provide any needed perimeter protection, and also accommodate proper ladderway access.

Four S5U clamps are bolted to a galvanized Steel baseplate, and using the simple set screw method, the S5U clamps attach securely to the standing seams without puncturing the metal roof. A Kee Klamp® Type 62 (base) fitting affixes to each metal baseplate in the system to support the uprights. The horizontal baseplates are custom fabricated to accommodate a wide variety of standing seam metal roofs.

Use of an open-style crossover fitting speeds installation of horizontal rails on standard or modified KeeGuard® Fall Protection Systems. In addition to using the Kee Klamp Type 62 fitting for upright support, the Kee Klamp Type 69 fitting can be incorporated into metal roof applications to accommodate a toeboard if needed.
