Rooftop walkway for flat, barrel and sloping roofs

Kee Walk provides a clear and safe demarcated route, while also protecting the roof from any unnecessary damage.

Kee Walk is a slip-resistant level rooftop walkway system designed for maintenance personnel and other workers. It is an ideal safe access solution for when working upon rooftops as it raises the walking surface and protects the roof from damage from foot traffic.

Modular, flexible solution for your roof

Kee Walk is designed for use on standing seam, composite, metal, membrane and trapezoidal roof structures.

Modular step and traverse sections allow safe access to be created on virtually any roof configuration, including sloped roofs up 35°.

The rooftop walkway system can be freestanding or fixed to the roof covering and features an open tread design to ensure water drains away efficiently.

Add a handrail for collective protection

Due to its modular nature, Kee Walk can easily accommodate the addition of safety handrails. These can be installed on either side of the walkway or both.

When railing is installed on both sides, Kee Walk can be used as a collective fall protection solution. Users do not need special training to use the walkway when guardrails are included: it can be accessed using standard PPE with no special requirements.

 

Protecting workers from fall hazards

Kee Walk can be used in conjunction with lifelines such as our KeeLine or with an integrated guardrail for collective protection.

Kee Walk with guardrail protects workers exposed to unprotected edges without the need for fall protection equipment; the premier collective protection safe access rooftop walkway system.

Roof Safety Systems FAQs

1. What are roof safety systems?

Roof safety systems are engineered solutions designed to provide safe access and fall protection for workers carrying out maintenance on rooftops. They can include walkway systems, guardrails, lifeline systems, fixed ladders, and step overs. Together, these systems help building owners meet legal obligations and ensure compliance with height regulations.

2. When is a rooftop walkway the preferred solution?

A rooftop walkway is often the preferred solution when multiple workers need regular roof access to plant equipment such as air conditioning units, skylights, or other maintenance areas. Walkway systems provide safe access while protecting the roof surface from unnecessary damage caused by foot traffic.

3. How do collective fall protection systems improve roof safety?

Collective fall protection systems, such as guardrails and roof edge protection, protect all workers on the roof without requiring each person to connect to a safety line. These roof safety solutions are ideal for reducing risk and simplifying access for routine maintenance.

4. Can Kee Walk be used with other fall protection systems?

Yes. Kee Walk can be combined with lifeline systems such as KeeLine to create a comprehensive range of roof safety systems. It can also be installed with guardrails to provide collective fall protection where there is a fall risk near the roof edge.

5. Are roof safety systems suitable for different roof types?

Yes. Roof safety systems can be designed to suit many roof types, including standing seam, composite, membrane, metal, and trapezoidal roofs. Systems can be free standing or fixed depending on the roof structure and the most suitable installation method.

6. How do roof safety systems help with compliance?

Properly designed and installed roof safety systems help businesses comply with building regulations, height regulations, and wider health and safety requirements. Certified systems also support inspections, testing, and ongoing maintenance to ensure long-term compliance.


7 Essential Components of Effective Roof Safety Systems

1. Roof Access Walkways

Walkway systems create safe access routes across the roof and reduce trip hazards while protecting the roof surface.

2. Roof Edge Protection

Guardrails and edge protection systems help eliminate fall risks around exposed roof edges.

3. Lifeline Systems

Safety line systems and anchor points provide fall arrest and fall restraint solutions where collective protection is not practical.

4. Step Overs and Fixed Ladders

These allow workers to move safely over pipework, ductwork, and changes in roof levels.

5. Certified Installation

Professionally installed and certified systems ensure the safety system performs as intended and meets relevant standards.

6. Regular Inspections and Testing

Routine inspections help identify wear, damage, or potential failure before they compromise worker safety.

7. Ongoing Maintenance Support

A complete roof safety solution includes maintenance services to keep systems compliant and fully operational for years to come.
