Does your roof parapet actually provide enough edge protection? πŸ‘€

It's a common assumption:
"We already have a parapet wall, so the roof is safe."

But many older buildings have parapet upstands that fall below the recommended 1100mm protection height, potentially leaving anyone access the roof exposed to serious fall risks.

That's where Kee Guard for parapet walls comes in.

By extending low-level parapets with modular roof edge protection, buildings can achieve compliant collective fall protection without major structural changes or roof pe*******on.

βœ… Ideal for short parapet upstands
βœ… Non-penetrative options available
βœ… Preserves roof integrity and warranties
βœ… Modular design adapts around rooftop obstacles
βœ… Designed for long-term rooftop safety

For facilities managers, contractors, and building owners, it's a practical way to improve rooftop safety without overcomplicating the solution.

Because when it comes to working at height, "almost compliant" isn't compliant.

Meet the team πŸ‘‹

Say hello to Tom Clarke, Project Manager at Simplified Safety UK.

Tom is the kind of person who genuinely enjoys solving problems, especially when a project throws up a challenge nobody saw coming. From complex rooftop safety requirements to finding practical solutions for our customers, he thrives on turning dilemmas into workable outcomes.

When asked what he find the most rewarding about his role, Tom said:
πŸ’¬ "Finding a solution to dilemmas"

Outside of work, Tom keeps busy with:
🏹 Archery
🐾 Looking after "two walking food bins that are Labradors"

His fun fact?
πŸ’¬ "I used to play Rugby. In the front row, when I was a teenager."

As for something people don't realise about him?
πŸ’¬ "I am over 18! Honest."

We'll let you decide on that one πŸ˜„

Skylight protection on warehouses is often treated as a small detail, until it becomes a very expensive problem.

Because on large warehouse roofs, the risk isn't just one skylight, it's dozens, sometimes even hundreds!

Every single one of them is a fall risk, the reality is:

⚠️ Skylights are not load bearing
⚠️ They degrade over time without it being obvious
⚠️ They're often hard to see when working on the roof

Which is why falls through rooflights and skylights still account for a significant portion of fatal incidents when working at height.

That's why skylight protection needs to be approached at scale:

βœ… Consistent protection across every rooflight
βœ… Systems that maintain natural light
βœ… Low-maintenance, long-term solutions
βœ… Designed to work alongside walkways and access routes

Because on warehouse roofs, efficiency isn't a bonus, it's essential.

Designing rooftop safety isn't just about adding protection, it's about making sure it actually works with the building...

That's where lifeline systems like Kee Line come in.

A well designed lifeline system can make all the difference.

With Kee Line, you're not just adding a safety line, you're designing a system that:

βœ… Allows continuous, hands-free movement across the roof
βœ… Adapts to different roof types and complex layouts
βœ… Works for both fall restraint and fall arrest
βœ… Minimises impact on the building with energy-absorbing design

It's a more considered approach to rooftop safety, especially when collective protection isn't practical.

Because the goal isn't just compliance, it's creating a system people an actually use safely, every day.

When it comes to roof edge protection, there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution.

But that's exactly the point.

With Kee Guard, it's not about trying to make one system work everywhere, it's about having the flexibility to build the right solution for your roof.

πŸ”Ή Free standing systems for flat roofs where protecting the roof membrane matters
πŸ”ΉTop Fix options for standing seam and metal roofs
πŸ”Ή Adaptable systems for tighter, more complex layouts
πŸ”ΉFoldable solutions where visual impact needs to be minimal

All built from the same modular system.
So whether you're working around a rooftop plant, awkward layouts, or specific roof types, there's always a configuration that fits.

No compromises, just the right setup for the job.

When fall protection isn't considered early on in a project, it can get expensive fast.

❌ Late stage changes

❌ Clashes with design
❌ Limited options that don't quite fit the building

For architects and specifiers, the goal isn't just to add safety, it's to design it in from the beginning.

That's where Kee Line cable lifeline systems come in.

A low profile solution for continuous fall protection, ideal where guardrails aren't practical or would inpact the design.

But the real value comes from getting a few key things right:

βœ… Factoring in anchor loads early (not as an afterthought)
βœ… Planning safe access routes across the full roof layout
βœ… Maintaining usable sapce around plant and services
βœ… Keeping the visual impact minimal on design-led projects

πŸ’‘ The best outcomes happen when safety is part of the design, not a bolt-on at the end.

That's exactly where we support architects and specifiers, helping you to get it right from day one.

Mud, sweat, and a seriously good cause πŸƒπŸΊ

This weekend, our General Manager, Daniel Hickman took on the 10km Wolf Run... and smashed it in 1 hour 35 minutes πŸ’ͺ

Even better, he's raised another Β£1,000 for Leukemia UK through our group wide Kee Giving initiative πŸ‘

This isn't just a one off for Dan either, it's the third event he has completed in support of Leukemia UK, showing real commitment to a cause that absolutely makes a difference!

Well done Dan!!

When it comes to rooftop access, there's rarely a one-size-fits-all solution

Every roof and access requirement is different.

That's why Kee Walk is designed as a configurable system, not just a standard walkway πŸ’ͺ

A simple level walkway might be all you need for clear, open roofs. But what happens when pipework, cables, or changes in height come into play?

That's where the flexibility of Kee Walk really starts to make a difference.

βœ… Raised walkways sections allow you to safely navigate over obstacles without disrupting access routes.
βœ… Step-overs create safe crossing points over services, protecting both people and equipment.
βœ… Integrated handrail can be added to create a fully compliant, collective protection system.

πŸ’‘It's not just about getting from A to B, it's about doing it safely, every step of the way.

With the right configuration, Kee Walk helps turn complex rooftops into safe, accessible working environments.

When was the last time your fall protection systems were recertified? πŸ€”πŸ€”

For many businesses, installation of a fall protection or safe access system is treated as the finish line, when in reality it's just the start.

Fall protection systems require regular inspection and recertification to remain compliant, safe, and legally defensible. Without it, you risk expired certifications, incomplete records, and systems that may not perform when they're needed most. ❌ ⚠️

We've pulled together the most common questions around recertification, from how often it's required, to what's actually involved, and how to stay on top of it across multiple sites.

If you're responsible for safety, compliance, or facility management, this is definitely worth a read πŸ‘€
