Why Rooftop Safety Matters in India’s Data Centres


Introduction:

India’s digital economy is booming, and data centres—whether enterprise, colocation, hyperscale, or edge—are at its core. These facilities rely heavily on rooftop infrastructure like cooling units, UPS systems, generators, and cabling to keep operations running 24/7. But with this critical infrastructure comes a challenge: ensuring the safety of maintenance teams working at heights. Enter Kee Safety India, a leader in rooftop fall protection and safe access solutions tailored specifically for data centres. In this blog, we’ll explore how Kee Safety India addresses these challenges, supports compliance with Indian and international standards, and provides lifecycle support for all stakeholders—consultants, architects, contractors, and end-users

The Safety Challenges Facing Data Centre Rooftops

Data centre rooftops are not your average workspace. They’re packed with hazards that demand robust safety solutions:

Real-World Success: Case Studies from India

Kee Safety’s solutions aren’t just theoretical—they’ve proven their worth in Indian data centres. Here are two examples:

Permanent Fall protection ensuring the continuous running of data centres

Case Study 1: Kee Guard in Action

In January 2024, a data centre installed the Kee Guard Rooftop Guardrail system to meet stringent safety standards (EN, BS & OSHA Standards). The challenge? Provide collective protection that could handle wind loads and last for years without penetrating the roof. The result was a safer workspace for maintenance teams, full compliance, and a client thrilled with the peace of mind it offered. “The Kee Guard system aligns with our commitment to safety,” they said, praising its robust design.

DataCenter Genset Access Platform

Case Study 2: Modular Access Platforms

Proposed in August 2024, the Static Kee Modular Access Platform tackled safety at heights with a custom design using Kee Klamp® fittings. It met EN & OSHA standards, offered flexibility for future changes, and installed with minimal disruption. The contractor saw improved efficiency and specified it for future projects, boosting their reputation in the industry.

These stories show how Kee Safety delivers practical, effective solutions tailored to India’s data centre needs.

Beyond Products: Comprehensive Lifecycle Support

Kee Safety doesn’t stop at installation. They support data centres from design to long-term maintenance:

This end-to-end approach makes Kee Safety a partner you can trust at every stage.

A Global Perspective: Lessons from the Middle East

Interestingly, Kee Safety’s expertise isn’t limited to India. In the Middle East, they’ve installed Kee Guard Lite—a lightweight aluminium guardrail—for a data centre with diverse roof types. This non-penetrative solution avoided leakage risks and cut installation costs with counterbalance engineering. It’s a great example of adaptability that could inspire innovative uses of lightweight materials in India too.
