Edge protection should always be available where there is a chance of falling. You don’t have to work at height, but there is always a chance of falling.
Falling can happen in many places, including on roof edges, balconies and parapets, mezzanines, lift shafts, stair openings, or stair openings.
Safety Barriers In Factories/Warehouses
Permanent safety barriers may be required for warehouses and factories. They are often needed to protect against moving machinery, hazardous materials, or sudden changes in levels. If this is the case, workers and visitors should know where to go.
Mezzanine Edge And Safe Loading
Safety is a top priority for mezzanine edges in factories. These exposed edges can be dangerous for workers on the mezzanine as well as those below. To protect workers below, a protective barrier should be kept at a minimum around the perimeter.
The mezzanine edge can be dangerous for pallet loading. Workers may have to take a section of the section out to gain entry. They can fall if they are too close to the edge. A pallet gate is a great way to protect the edge and eliminate this danger.
Increase Height To Parapets Or Low Walls
Parapets and walls shorter than 1100mm can be at risk of falling. To meet this standard, Kee Klamp safety barriers may be added to the parapet or wall tops.
If necessary, they can be inserted into the wall sideways. However, this will require temporary access to the building edge protection. To ensure the guardrail is secure, you may need scaffolding or a mobile access platform.
Securely Install Edge Protection
Roof edge protection should be installed with great care to ensure the safety of the installers. It is important that they are properly trained and have the appropriate PPE. All materials must be safely and securely transferred to the roof surface, taking all precautions.
Safe Access And Collective Protection
A Kee Klamp system provides collective protection to a roof. This means that all roof visitors are enclosed within the roof perimeters. There are no exposed sections or breaks. A self-closing safety barrier is available to allow for access if required. This eliminates human error and is safer than chains and links which can not be closed again.
Easy Handrail Installation
Kee Klamp safety rail installation is simple and does not require any special labour or equipment. Base flanges can bolt to concrete or other solid surfaces with mechanical or chemical fixings.
Then, the tubing can be locked into place with an allen key or hexagonal-headed drill bit. Kee Klamp is a popular choice because of its ease of use and ability to be installed quickly. This allows for significant savings by avoiding the need to weld or obtain hot work permits.
