KEE GUARD® RAILING

Why Choose Kee Guard® Railing?

Kee Guard® was invented by Kee® Safety decades ago and is now installed on rooftops worldwide. It exceeds OSHA Standard 1910.28(b)(13), which requires a guardrail system whenever work takes place less than 15 feet from a roof edge. The modular design adapts to virtually any rooftop layout, including custom angles, circular runs, existing ladders, and obstructions like piping and ductwork, and custom colors are available to match facility branding.

Most Kee Guard systems are non-penetrating, so there's no drilling, welding, or fastening into the roof membrane, protecting your roof from leaks. Pipe and fittings are galvanized inside and out to resist oxidation and corrosion, giving the railing a long service life with minimal maintenance. Installation requires no special tools or training, and a three-person crew can typically install more than 300 linear feet of railing in a single day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Kee Guard® over other types of rooftop railing?

Kee Guard exceeds baseline OSHA standards and is the only rooftop railing uniquely engineered to meet stricter local regulations, such as New York City building codes, which require withstanding a demanding 50 lbs. per LF.

Which OSHA Standards and Building Codes does Kee Guard satisfy?

• OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.29

• International Building Code Section 1015

• BS 6399: Part 2 1995 Wind Code

• NYC Building Codes

• Canadian National Building Code 4.1.10.1(1)(e), 4.1.10.1(2), 4.1.10.1(4)

• Plus many more

How do I get an accurate price quote for my specific facility?

• You provide measurements or satellite roof images to our engineering team and we can design and quote a solution OR

• We generate high-resolution satellite imaging to design and quote a solution based on your location OR

• We visit your site and determine a solution, at your convenience

Is it possible to customize the color of the safety railing?

Yes. While the default delivery is a clean, structural galvanized mill finish, Safety Rail Source can powder-coat the railings to any standard RAL color. This allows the safety perimeter to match your corporate branding or seamlessly blend into the building’s architecture.

Does Kee Guard railing require drilling into my roof?

No, in most cases. Flat roof systems use recycled PVC counterbalance weights, and standing seam systems use non-penetrating clamps, so neither requires drilling, welding, or fastening. Corrugated roof systems do use fasteners into the roof deck, sealed per the manufacturer's recommendations.
