KEE SAFETY ENSURES OPTIMAL SAFETY WITH KEEGUARD®
LADDER KIT To provide optimal safety to those working at height, Kee Safety, a global supplier of fall protection equipment, has launched KeeGuard® Ladder Kit, a permanently fixed guardrail system that is used in conjunction with safety ladders and self-closing gates.
KeeGuard® Ladder Kit has been designed to provide a working at height safety solution that complies with EN 14122-4. This standard recommends that ‘to prevent falling through the access opening at arrival areas, the opening shall be provided with a gate.’
It also states that at drop
edges of arrival areas, ‘a guardrail should be provided at least 1.5m either side of the ladder.’
To ensure it complies with the standard, KeeGuard® Ladder Kit is a 'retro-fit' guardrail solution that fits to existing fixed ladder or cat ladders, providing 1.5m guardrailing on both sides of the ladder. Quick and easy to install, it simply clamps on to
SAFETY A PRIORITY WITH NEW SLIPGRIP® SAFETY GLOW FROM
FIBREGRID As a leading producer of non-slip products for steps and floors, FibreGrid is constantly looking for ways to improve underfoot safety. According to RIDDOR falls, slips and trips accounted for more than a third of employee injuries in 2014/2015, with 21,331 reported incidents. This equates to an estimated 2.1 million working days lost.
FibreGrid’s latest addition to their SlipGrip range aims to help in reducing such accidents, as SlipGrip® Safety Glow uses a photoluminescent resin which absorbs light during the day, and glows through the night. By day stair treads look like any other in the FibreGrid range – black ExtremeCore™ grit, with a 55mm x

the existing fixed ladder, forming a continual link from the guardrail to the stringer. The kit's unique fitting can clamp around a flat or tubular stringer up to 75mm in width/diameter and does not need to be mechanically fixed to the roofing membrane or building’s structure.
John Ingram, Group Product Manager of Fall Protection, at Kee Safety commented: “Awareness of the dangers of working at height has increased in the past few years, with legislations such as the Work at
55mm yellow or white nosing to warn the visually impaired where the step edge is - they are also DDA compliant.
When darkness descends, the new SlipGrip® Safety Glow coating on the step-nosing glows for up to eight hours and so illuminates potentially hazardous steps, kerbs and edges. It doesn’t matter if there is no sun, as they will charge in overcast conditions, and they aren’t just for outdoor use as they are also charged by electric light.
SlipGrip® Safety Glow is available in fine or coarse slip resistant finishes, and is suitable for heavy pedestrian traffic. Suggested applications would be steps and kerbs in public car parks, hospitals, educational establishments, loading bays, stairs, ramps and fire exits. The fine grade slip resistant finish is ideal for indoor steps where, if there is a power cut (perhaps in the event of fire), people will be able to still exit a building safely.

Height Regulations of 2005 coming into play. Great steps have been made to ensure the safety of workers undertaking work at height, and we believe that the introduction of this new product is another step in the right direction.”
