KeeGuard® Fall Protection
The Simple, Cost Effective Solution that Does Not Penetrate the Roof Membrane
Why use a railing system for fall protection on a low slope roof?
- A Guard Rail system removes the risk of workers reaching a position from which they could enter into a free fall situation.
- There is no training involved - everybody knows how to use railings.
- It is the safest way to provide fall protection for people who work near the roof edge according to many safety consultants.
- Maintenance Free
What are some other benefits of KeeGuard Fall Protection Railing System?
- No penetration of the roof membrane. Therefore no possibility of a leaking roof and expensive repairs
- Collective fall protection. This means that the number of people that can be on a roof safely is only limited by the size and strength of the roof.
- Simple counterbalance construction of KeeGuard fall protection system makes installation easy and straightforward
- World’s best components – Kee Klamp slip –on –pipe fittings and hot dip galvanized pipes

- In all safety matters the simpler the solution the better. KeeGuard fall protection railing system should always be considered when possible when choosing a fall protection system
Permanent Solution for Roof Edge Safety
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.
KeeGuard® Offers Flexibility and Custom Solutions
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.
