Case Study PDF

Project Overview

APS Safety Systems was approached by a facilities and business services provider, headquartered near Glasgow, seeking a safe and compliant solution for edge protection on their head office rooftop.

With an expanding property portfolio and increased rooftop maintenance activities, the client recognised the need to proactively address potential fall risks. They required a durable, non-penetrative system that could be installed with minimal disruption and would not compromise the integrity of their existing roof structure.

After conducting a site visit and assessing all access and surface conditions, APS proposed a Kee Guard free-standing guardrail system to deliver long-term rooftop fall protection that met all relevant safety regulations.

Kee Guard - Case study

Identifying the Risk

The rooftop at the head office presented an unprotected edge, posing a significant fall hazard to anyone performing routine maintenance or inspections. The lack of a permanent guardrail system left the client at risk of non-compliance with Work at Height Regulations and increased the potential for workplace incidents.

In addition, the roof’s surface was fitted with waterproof membrane layers that could not be penetrated by fixings, limiting the available safety system options.

The client required a secure, regulation-compliant solution that could be deployed quickly without damaging the existing roof or affecting operations inside the building.

Our Solution

Following a detailed consultation, APS recommended the Kee Guard free-standing guardrail system a non-invasive, modular safety solution designed specifically for flat or slightly pitched roofs.

The Kee Guard system offered a number of key benefits ideally suited to this project:

Key Features of the Kee Guard System:

  • Non-penetrative installation that preserves roof integrity
  • Freestanding and counterbalanced design suitable for PVC, membrane, concrete, felt, and asphalt roofs
  • Wind-speed calculated stability based on the site’s elevation, location, and topography
  • Fully compliant with BS EN 13374
  • Quick installation by APS’s experienced in-house technicians

Our team ensured the entire guardrail system was installed safely and securely, forming a continuous barrier around the perimeter of the rooftop. The modular design also allows for future expansion or reconfiguration as needed.

Outcome / Key Benefits Delivered

The completed Kee Guard installation provided the client with an immediate and effective rooftop safety solution. With no drilling or penetration involved, the integrity of the roof surface remained fully intact.

Delivered Benefits:

  • Enhanced Fall Protection: Personnel can now access the roof with confidence and without risk.
  • Compliance Achieved: The system meets the latest HSE and international safety standards.
  • Non-Destructive Approach: No damage to the waterproof membrane or structural roofing components.
  • Professional Finish: The client commended APS for clear communication, fast turnaround, and quality workmanship.
