There are several health and safety issues to be concerned about when working in a warehouse environment. Kee Safety, a leading global supplier of safety solutions, provides a full product range that means whether staff are working internally or externally, at height or on the floor, they will always have a system in place to separate them from hazards. Boasting such a wide product range, Kee Safety has the ability to solve a magnitude of challenges employers and employees face when working in warehouses.
Challenge: Requiring a strong, durable and flexible solution for the construction of railings, guardrails and safety barriers.
Solution Kee Klamp® systems: The Kee Klamp® range of fittings comprises a comprehensive selection of simple to use, galvanised malleable cast iron fittings. These fittings allow pre-cut lengths of standard tubing to be connected together to form safety guardrails and other types of tubular framework structure.
All fittings incorporate an integral socket screw which locks the fitting securely onto its tube to give an excellent slip load performance. The extensive range ensures they can also cope easily with any changes in direction or gradient, and easily accommodate requirements for adapting or extending an existing structure.
Challenge: Finding a compliant, self-closing system that provides staff with a safety solution when working on ground level. Solution Spring loaded safety gates: Kee Gate® safety gates are particularly suited to provide safe access and egress around machinery and electrical equipment, on access platforms, step overs, stairways and ladders or as part of a demarcated route within a loading bay or warehouse. Safety gates are spring loaded to automatically close behind the user, providing an added level of security and overcoming the potential for human error.
Challenge: Having the ability to move goods safely up or down from mezzanines or raised working surfaces. Solution Pallet gates: Pallet Gates from Kee Safety have been designed to allow workers to load and unload pallets on mezzanine floors, without the possibility of falling from height.
The Pallet Gates range features four different configurations to suit the type of operation required. Gates are available in range of sizes, from 1.4m to 1.9m pallet width and from 1.6m to 2.2m pallet height. They are constructed using Kee Klamp® galvanised or Kee Lite® aluminium fittings and tubes and can be linked to new and existing railing systems. Challenge: Requiring a bespoke platform to allow safe access to areas where off the shelf fabricated platforms or other systems such as ladders or towers are not appropriate.
Solution Bespoke Access Platforms:
Kee Safety Bespoke Access Platforms – which can be designed to suit virtually any requirement – are suitable for difficult to reach areas such as access to machinery, warehouse racking, maintenance of vehicles, welding or plastering.
These access platforms are custom built and can be designed up to 3m in height. When higher access is required, the platform is constructed with the addition of an extra support arm. Bespoke Access Platforms are modular in design and utilise either Kee Lite® or Kee Klamp® fittings to provide an extremely secure, robust, corrosion resistant access platform.
Challenge: Avoiding machinery collisions into walls, corners, racking units, posts and pipes. Solution Upright protectors: Kee Safety’s Kwik Kit® range of upright protectors, which can be used both indoors and outdoors, are made of hot dipped galvanised steel for durability and are also powder coated in RAL 1021 for extra visibility. The range of warehouse protectors has been designed and tested in accordance with the BS EN 15512:2009. The uprights are all a minimum of 400mm tall, and dynamic tests have been conducted to ensure that the minimum energy absorption of 400Nm is achieved. Challenge: Providing demarcation around plant, equipment and fragile materials.
Solution Kee Mark® Demarcation systems: The high visibility, maintenance free Kee Mark® demarcation system is compact, making it portable and easy to assemble. The unique post design with a heavy-duty PVC base prevents the system from falling during severe weather.
Kee Safety strives to provide solutions to separate people from hazards, so its product portfolio extends wide enough to cover railings, guardrails, barriers, self-closing gates, pallet gates, access platforms and demarcation systems. Kee Safety also offers expert advice and technical support, to ensure compliance with all major standards and statutory requirements. Kee Safety products are available in the UK through a well-established network of distributors and fall protection partners across the country.
