Smart, Scalable & Standards-Compliant Fall Protection Safety for Elevated Work Areas
India’s ports and logistics infrastructure—spanning container terminals, freight yards, and cargo depots—is a vital engine for economic growth. Yet, these sites often face a critical safety gap: unprotected elevated surfaces, fragile roofs, and non-compliant perimeters where fall hazardspose daily risks.
Kee Safety India addressed this challenge by deploying a customised guard rail system at a major private terminal on India’s East Coast. The solution? A modular, corrosion-resistant, and fully compliant edge fall protection system using our flagship Kee Guard® safety railing.
Sector Challenge: Why Rooftop & Perimeter Safety Can’t Be Ignored
In India’s bustling ports and inland logistics hubs, the absence of proper railing for roof areas and elevated platforms can lead to:
Unsafe access during inspections or maintenance
Lack of perimeter demarcation near parapet-less rooftops
High salt-content air degrading sub-standard safety rails
Inability to perform hot works or structural modifications due to site constraints
Non-compliance with OSHA/EN norms, risking fines and employee injury
Kee Guard®: The Trusted Solution for Edge Protection
Our engineers conducted a comprehensive site audit and proposed Kee Guard®—a globally trusted fall protection safety solution for high-risk environments. Here’s why this safety railing system stood out:
No Drilling, No Welding – Ideal for ports with fragile roofing or fire safety restrictions
Railing for Roof & Edge Zones – Designed to provide passive fall protection across rooftops
EN 13374 & OSHA Compliant – Fully meets Indian and international safety norms
Corrosion-Resistant Construction – Galvanized steel ensures long-term performance, especially in coastal/marine climates.
Edge Protection with Modularity – Easy to transport, install, expand, or reconfigure.
Guard Rail System Backed by Manufacturer Support – Supplied and installed by Kee Safety India experts
Project Snapshots: Installation That’s Fast, Clean, and Safe
Installation was completed in May 2025, on a live logistics terminal without halting cargo operations. The edge protection system now protects maintenance crews, surveyors, and equipment inspectors—ensuring operational continuity and worker well-being.
By avoiding fabrication, we eliminated fire permits and delays—this is safety made simple, strong, and scalable. – Kee Safety India Projects Team

Maintenance-Free Durability – Engineered for all-weather marine exposure
Selecting the Appropriate Safety System for Your Rooftop Edge
After establishing the importance of edge safety on rooftops, the next step is to choose the most suitable system for your industrial facility. Essential factors to consider include:
Rooftop Type and Complexity: Kee Safety India offers various solutions, including the Kee Guard Non-Penetrating system for flat or low-slope roofs and the Kee Guard Topfix for metal roofs and standing seams. Both provide optimal protection without compromising the integrity of your rooftop membrane.
Customization: Industrial facilities' rooftops come in various shapes and sizes. Modular solutions from Kee Safety India, like the Kee Guard, allow customization to fit around rooftop obstacles, ventilation units, or uneven surfaces, ensuring comprehensive safety.
Durability: Diverse Indian weather conditions require robust solutions. Kee Safety India constructs its products with high-quality materials like galvanized steel and aluminium, known for their resistance to extreme temperatures and corrosion. These structures are designed to withstand harsh conditions and offer long-term protection.
Ease of Installation: It's essential to minimize disruption to your operations. Kee Safety's systems are designed for easy and quick installation, often requiring no drilling or welding. This results in reduced downtime and cost savings.
Maintenance: Regular upkeep is essential for optimal performance. Kee Safety India's systems are easy to inspect and maintain, ensuring their effectiveness throughout their lifespan.
