Kee Guard roof edge protection
Free Standing Roof Edge Protection
Kee Guard is a free-standing roof edge protection system that protects workers without penetrating the roof surface. The non-penetrating design prevents leaks, preserves roof warranties, and allows quick installation on flat and metal roofs.
Built for Long-Term Roof Safety
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials, Kee Guard is designed as a permanent roof edge protection system. The robust guardrail structure provides reliable fall protection for decades, even in harsh rooftop environments.
Flexible Roof Guardrail System
Kee Guard is a modular roof guardrail system built using Kee Klamp components. This allows the system to adapt around rooflights, plant equipment, solar installations, and elevation changes while maintaining continuous edge protection.
Designed to Meet UK Safety Standards
Kee Guard systems are engineered to meet recognised roof edge protection standards, including BS EN 14122 and EN 13374. Systems can be supplied and installed across the UK with a free site assessment available.

Roof Edge Protection That Wors for Your Building
Roof edge protection is essential wherever people work near a roof perimeter. Without a permanent edge protection system in place, routine maintenance, plant inspections, and rooftop access all present serious fall risks.
Kee Guard is a free-standing roof edge protection system designed to protect workers without penetrating the roof surface. Installed across thousands of buildings throughout the UK, it provides a reliable roof guardrail system for industrial facilities.
Because the system is freestanding, it protects workers while preserving roof integrity. There are no roof penetrations, no compromise to waterproofing, and no risk to roof warranties.
At Simplified Safety, we supply and install systems UK-wide, with solutions designed in accordance with BS EN 14122 and EN 13374 standards. Every project can begin with a free site assessment to ensure the most effective edge protection system for your building.
Browse Kee Guard Technical SpecsFree Standing Roof Edge Protection
Kee Guard is a free standing roof edge protection system designed specifically for modern flat roofs. Instead of fixing guardrails through the roof surface, the system uses engineered counterweights to hold the guardrail securely in position.
This approach offers several advantages for building owners and facilities managers. Installation is quick and non-invasive, meaning roofing membranes remain untouched and warranties remain intact. Because there are no penetrations, installation is also significantly less disruptive compared to traditional fixed guardrails.
The modular design also means the system can easily adapt to the layout of your roof. Guardrails can run around plant equipment, rooflights, solar installations, or service walkways without requiring multiple protection systems.

Roof Edge Protection for Multiple Roof Types
Every roof presents different challenges. Rooftop equipment, varying levels, narrow walkways, and rooflights can all complicate fall protection design.
Kee Guard’s modular design allows it to function as a flexible edge protection system suitable for a wide range of roof types.
The system is commonly installed on:
- Flat roofs
- Low slope roofs
- Metal profile roofs
- Trapezoidal roofs
- Standing seam roofs
- Areas with limited roof space
Because components can be configured around obstacle, the system can protect the entire roof perimeter without requiring complex structural alterations.
Discreet Roof Edge Protection That Protects Building Aesthetics
In many commercial environments, rooftop guardrails must balance safety with building appearance.
Kee Guard systems can be powder-coated to match roof and building colours, allowing them to blend into the surrounding architecture. Several configuration options can also reduce visibility from ground level, including setback installations and lay-flat designed where appropriate.
This allows organisations to maintain building aesthetics while still providing fully compliant roof edge protection.
Collective Fall Protection Without Harness Systems
Unlike harness-based fall protection systems, Kee Guard provides collective fall protection.
This means workers are protected simply by being inside the guardrail perimeter. No specialist PPE, harness training, or anchor points required.
For many facilities managers, this simplifies roof safety management. Workers and contractors can access the roof safely without the need for additional equipment, reducing both risk and administrative burden.

Frequently asked questions
Are toeboards available with the Kee Guard system?
Yes, toeboards can be added to the Kee Guard system if needed. These are available as an optional extra and can be included upon request.
Can Kee Guard be used as an anchor point?
No, the Kee Guard system is not designed to function as an anchor point. It cannot be used to support workers or equipment that are suspended from the roof.
Is it possible to paint the Kee Guard system?
Yes, Kee Guard components can be painted by the customer before or after installation. For a more professional finish, we also offer the option to powder coat the components in any RAL colour you choose. Please note that powder coating involves an additional charge and may extend lead times as it is completed prior to shipment.
Does the Kee Guard system comply with UK and EU safety standards?
Absolutely. The Kee Guard system has been rigorously tested and exceeds the requirements of EU safety standards, including EN 13374 and EN ISO 14122-3.
What are the advantages of Kee Guard over horizontal lifeline or harness systems?
Kee Guard offers a collective fall protection solution, which is passive and user-friendly. Unlike harness systems, which require proper training and consistent use, Kee Guard eliminates the risk of improper usage. It also avoids the potential water damage associated with embedded anchors for harness systems. Additionally, there’s no need to manage multiple harnesses for workers or worry about worker compliance with harness rules.
How can I purchase the Kee Guard system?
Each Kee Guard system is custom designed to fit your specific roof layout. To get started, simply contact us through our website or via email. One of our technical experts will arrange a site survey and provide a detailed design and quote for your system.
Is Kee Guard more expensive than harness or tie-off systems?
When you consider the long-term costs of training, inspections, and recertifications associated with harness systems, Kee Guard offers a competitive solution. Its upfront cost is comparable to horizontal lifeline systems but provides added benefits with less ongoing maintenance.
Is Kee Guard legally required?
Employers and building owners are responsible for ensuring worker safety when there’s a risk of falls. For rooftops where maintenance or work is carried out, fall protection is typically a legal requirement under UK regulations, such as the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
Does Kee Guard need to be maintained or inspected after installation?
Once installed, the Kee Guard system is considered a permanent solution. However, to ensure ongoing compliance and safety, we recommend regular inspections of all fall protection systems. Routine checks help provide peace of mind and maximum liability protection for the building owner.
