Expertly designed mansafe systems for safe roof access.
Mansafe system is a collective term used to describe a range of fall protection solutions designed to keep workers safe when operating at height, particularly on roofs. A man safe fall arrest system is commoly used when tasks require close access to the roof edge or around fragile surfaces like skylights.
A mansafe system for roofs typically includes components such as roof anchors, lifelines, and guardrail - ensuring operatives are either restrained from reaching a fall hazard (fall restraint), or safely arrested in the event of a fall (fall arrest).
There are two primary types of mansafe systems:
There are several types of mansafe systems designed to protect workers at height, each suited to different roof types, work conditions, and safety requirements. Here are the most common systems used across flat and pitched roofs:
Weighted Mansafe Systems: Kee Anchor - a weighted mansafe system like Kee Anchor is a non-penetrative solution ideal for flat roofs with sensitive or waterproof membranes. It acts as a portable fall arrest or fall restraint anchor point, ensuring compliance without compromising the roofs structure.

Kee Cover provides a mansafe system for roofs with fragile surfaces by shielding skylights with a durable, tested cover. It acts as a mansafe component, especially when used alongside Kee Anchor, Kee Line, or Kee Walk.

Whether you're looking for a mansafe system that won't penetrate your roof membrane, we've got the expertise and the products to support your needs.
A mansafe system is a collection of fall protection components such as anchors, lifelines, or guardrails - designed to protect workers operating at height, especially on roofs.
Fall restraint prevents a worker from reaching a fall hazard, while fall arrest allows access to hazardous areas but safely stops a fall in progress.
It depends on your roof type, how often access is needed, and the specific hazards present. We offer tailored solutions for both flat and pitched roofs.
Yes, systems like Kee Anchor and Kee Guard are non-penetrative and ideal for roofs with sensitive or waterproof membranes.
Passive systems like Kee Guard do not require PPE or training. Active systems like lifelines and anchors do require additional PPE and appropriate user training.
Absolutely! Our team provides the complete design, and can help make sure your mansafe system is fully compliant and tailored to your application.
