Ensuring Campus Safety at Toronto Metropolitan University


Project Overview

Toronto Metropolitan University, situated in the heart of Canada’s largest city, is renowned for its urban campus and innovative culture. As part of an ongoing initiative to enhance safety compliance, the university sought to implement new safety measures across its campus rooftops in preparation for an upcoming health and safety inspection audit.

"The main safety concern that we have is to make sure that our workers are safe and to comply with the Occupational Health & Safety requirements for working at height."
- Dean Aziz (Project Manager)

The Challenge

The university faced the challenge of ensuring compliance with safety regulations while providing safe and efficient access for workers performing maintenance on multiple campus roofs. The solution needed to be practical, reliable, and adaptable to the unique layout of the university's urban campus.

The Solution

Kee Safety provided Toronto Metropolitan University with a comprehensive rooftop safety system, including:

  • Kee Guard: A non-penetrating roof edge guardrail that protects workers from hazards while maintaining roof integrity.
  • Kee Platform: A custom-designed static work platform exceeding OH&S standards, ensuring stability and safety when working at height.
  • Kee Step: An adjustable, non-penetrating system for safe access over rooftop obstacles, suitable for sloped roofs.
  • Kee Line: A horizontal lifeline system is designed to provide workers with freedom of movement on the rooftop while securely attached

This modular, non-penetrating solution eliminated the need for permits like hot work or crane permits, minimized installation disruptions, and ensured compliance with safety standards. It provided cost and time savings while enhancing worker safety and maintaining the university’s infrastructure.
