The new KeeHatch roof hatch railing system from Kee Safety is designed to fit standard roof hatch models. It can be installed in less than 30 minutes and features few assembly requirements, as well as pre-built uprights and drop-in fittings to install the horizontal rails with ease, according to the company.
Used for safe egress and ingress through roof hatches, and fall protection when a hatch is open, the lightweight aluminum railings affix to the hatch and do not penetrate the roof itself. Constructed of high-grade Aluminum Silicon Magnesium Alloy for strength and corrosion resistance, the new KeeHatch complies with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.23 for guardrail protection and meeting minimum load requirement of 200 lbs.
The unit includes side railings with adequate gripping surface without sharp edges or snag points. The KeeHatch is available in seven standard models to fit the full range of roof hatches. The safety railing system also integrates with existing openings and ladder ways, and can be customized to suit different sizes and situations, according to the company.
