Frequently Asked Questions

- Are toeboards available on the Kee Guard system?
  
  Yes, a toeboard can be supplied at the customer’s request.
- Is Kee Guard required by law?
  
  Building owners and employers are responsible for protecting their workers from any hazard encountered while on the job. In jobs requiring access to roofs for maintenance purposes, fall protection is usually required if workers will be exposed to a fall hazard. Will installation of Kee Guard reduce insurance premiums? Insurance premiums are often impacted by steps taken by the building owner to reduce hazards to their workers. More importantly, building owners’ liability will be strictly examined if an industrial accident occurs and preventative measures (such as Kee Guard) were not taken.
- Can the Kee Guard system be painted?
  
  Kee Guard components can be painted by the customer before or after installation. Kee Guard components are also available powder coated in any RAL color at the customer’s request (extra charges apply for powder coating). Powder coating takes place prior to shipment.
- Can Kee Guard be used as an anchor?
  
  The Kee Guard system is not intended as an anchor and cannot be used as an anchor or tie off point to support any workers or equipment suspended off the roof.
- Does the Kee Guard system comply with the current US and Canada safety regulations?
  
  The Kee Guard system has been tested to comply with and exceed US OSHA and Canada OH&S codes.
- Does the Kee Guard system offer advantages over a horizontal life line system or harness system?
  
  Yes. Kee Guard Roof Edge Fall Protection Railing System is a passive, collective fall protection system that is preferred by safety consultants. Lives have been lost in work-related falls resulting from workers not using harnesses properly. The Kee Guard system removes the potential of that risk. Harness systems require training and proper and regular use. The embedded anchor for a harness system could later leak and cause costly water damage. The worry of not having enough harnesses for rooftop workers is eliminated.
- Is Kee Guard more expensive than using a harness/tie-off system?
  
  When you consider the ongoing cost of training and system re-certification, the installed cost of Kee Guard is competitive with horizontal life line systems.
- How do I buy the Kee Guard system?
  
  Each Kee Guard System is individually engineered for your premises. Contact us directly with the information on this website.
- Can the Kee Guard system be installed on a sloped roof?
  
  Kee Guard Standard can be used on any style of flat roof with a slope up to 3 degrees.
- How long does it take to install Kee Guard? Are special skills or tools required?
  
  With the use of the new Kee Guard open style fitting (standard), two workers with minimal experience and simple hand tools can be installed up to twice as fast as most other systems. All materials should be delivered to the rooftop using a hoist, crane or other mechanical methods. No power tools are required.
- Is Kee Guard intended for temporary or permanent installation?
  
  The system is intended as a permanent fall protection solution, however since it is a modular system, the system can be disassembled and moved if needed or for maintenance tasks.
- Are all the materials used in the Kee Guard system protected from corrosion?
  
  Galvanized pipe is used for vertical, horizontal and counterbalance supports and Kee Klamp fittings are all galvanized at our factory. The grub screws used to assemble the fittings and pipes together are all protected by Kee Koat^® which is a special corrosion-resistant coating. KeeGuard fall protection system is engineered using special fittings and is designed to withstand a full range of outdoor conditions.
- How does the Kee Guard system stay on the roof if it isn’t bolted through the roof membrane?
  
  The system employs a tested and proven counterbalance system, the Kee Guard system (Patents in effect) is a roof edge railing fall protection system that keeps the workers on the roof without endangering the roof membrane itself.
- What prevents the counterweights from sinking into tar/gravel roof surfaces in hot climates?
  
  Each Kee Guard counterbalance weighs only 30 pounds and has an insulating rubber pad on the underside which is installed at the factory. Each counterbalance is spaced sufficiently to make the entire system deliver less weight per square foot than the average worker who might have to walk on the roof.
