Overview

SMRT Corporation Ltd (SMRT), Singapore’s leading public transport operator, required a fall protection system to improve platform edge protection and access control solutions at key train stations. To address this, SMRT partnered with Kee Safety, a global leader in safe access solutions, to implement a reliable and effective safety upgrade.

Following detailed site surveys, our team recommended the installation of Kee Gate® Self-Closing Safety Gates, which were integrated into existing barriers to enhance railway safety enhancements and prevent unauthorized access. These transportation sector safety solutions ensure a safer environment for passengers while complying with industry best practices.

Upon approval, Kee Safety was awarded the project for the Kee Gate® installation in Singapore, working in collaboration with our trusted local partner, Wan Cheng. The installation was carried out efficiently with minimal disruption to SMRT’s operations, reinforcing our commitment to delivering public transport safety solutions.

This project highlights Kee Safety’s expertise as a trusted safety equipment supplier, providing high-quality fall protection systems for the transportation sector, ensuring safety and compliance across public infrastructure.

Solutions Provided:

To enhance platform safety at SMRT stations, Kee Safety delivered a reliable fall protection solution using Kee Gate® Self-Closing Safety Gates.

• Understanding the Risks – Our safety experts, alongside our local partner in Singapore, carried out thorough site surveys at two SMRT stations. These assessments helped identify hazardous gaps in existing platform barriers that posed risks to workers.
• Tailored Safety Solution – Based on our findings, we recommended replacing manual chains with Kee Gate® safety gates. A mix of single and double gates was strategically installed to create safer access points for workers.
• Hands-Free Safety – Unlike chains that workers sometimes forgot to reconnect, Kee Gate® features a spring-loaded, self-closing mechanism, ensuring that the gate automatically returns to its closed position—eliminating potential fall risks.
• Hassle-Free Installation – Once the purchase order was confirmed, we worked with Wan Cheng, our trusted local installation partner, to seamlessly install the gates. The entire process was carried out efficiently with minimal disruption to SMRT’s daily operations.
• A Lasting Safety Upgrade – The new safety gates provide a durable, low-maintenance solution that enhances worker safety while aligning with industry best practices for railway infrastructure.

With this upgrade, SMRT’s platform safety is now stronger than ever, ensuring a safer working environment for personnel while reinforcing safety across public transportation networks.
