The Facilities Manager at Sysco reached out through the website contact form requesting a quote for a small section of railing and a hatch kit. Sysco purchased a few small sections of first-generation Kee Guard for their facility many years ago and wanted more. After an in-person rooftop safety audit, it was determined that they needed significantly more railing, as well as some stairways and crossovers.
Custom Full-coverage OSHA Compliant system that accommodated the customer’s unique needs for safe access and escape routes.
Providing fall protection for maintenance personnel and safe escape routes were both critical parts of the project. Kee Safety was able to provide a comprehensive solution and turnkey installation service to streamline the project. All solutions were non-penetrating to preserve the customer’s roof warranty and prevent roof leaks. The system's modular design allowed for quick and efficient installation. The use of high-quality, durable materials ensured that the safety measures will stand the test of time, offering peace of mind for both maintenance staff and management.
The client thanked the team at Kee Safety for taking care of the punch list items, and expressed how great the finished system looked.
In a nutshell, our partnership with Sysco shows just how versatile Kee Safety's solutions can be. What started as a simple request for a small section of railing and a hatch kit, ended as a full-on, custom safety system that looks great and meets or exceeds all OSHA standards. It's a win-win that proves when it comes to safety, you don't have to compromise.
