Fall Protection For Data Centre Roofs 2

Rooftop Safety Solutions for Data Centres Construction


Introduction:

The digital economy in the Asia-Pacific region is growing fast. Data centres, like enterprise, colocation, hyperscale, and edge, are driving this change. In countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Australia, data centres rely on rooftop systems. These include cooling systems, UPS units, generators, and complex cabling networks. This setup helps them run smoothly and without interruptions. However, maintaining this essential equipment presents a significant safety challenge: protecting personnel working at height.

 

That’s where Kee Safety comes in. As a trusted provider of rooftop fall protection and safe access solutions across Asia-Pacific, Kee Safety offers tailored systems that ensure safety, support compliance with regional and international standards, and deliver long-term value for consultants, architects, contractors, and data centre operators alike.

The Safety Challenges Facing Data Centre Rooftops

Data centre rooftops are not typical workspaces. They are complex and high-risk areas that need strong safety solutions. Here are some of the key challenges faced:

Data Centre Safety Solutions

Kee Safety’s Product Range Designed for Data Centre Environments

Kee Safety offers rooftop safety solutions designed for the unique needs of data centres across Asia-Pacific, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia, and Japan. Each country has its own challenges—for example, data centres in Japan must be built to withstand earthquakes, requiring stronger, more flexible safety systems.

Kee Safety’s products ensure safe access to rooftop equipment like cooling units, UPS systems, and generators, while meeting local safety standards. By reducing fall risks and protecting maintenance teams, Kee Safety helps data centres run safely and reliably throughout the region. 

For a deeper look at essential rooftop safety practices for data centre operations, industry experts recommend reviewing international guidelines and trusted solutions providers.

Non-Penetrative Rooftop Guardrails

Kee Guard® Rooftop Guardrail

Kee Guard® is a free-standing, non-penetrative guardrail system designed to provide permanent edge protection on data centre rooftops. Unlike traditional systems, Kee Guard® does not require drilling or penetration of the roof membrane, preserving its integrity and preventing potential leaks—an essential consideration for data centres where operational continuity is critical.

Constructed from galvanised steel or aluminium, Kee Guard® offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, making it perfectly suited for the harsh rooftop environments common across the Asia-Pacific region. Its modular design allows for quick installation and flexible adaptation to complex rooftop layouts.

For concrete roofs, Kee Guard® uses a 13kg recycled PVC counterweight that provides secure stability without the need for roof penetrations. On standing seam roofs, the system is fixed with S5 clamps — a non-penetrative solution that protects the roof while ensuring a strong and reliable attachment.

Importantly, it meets global safety standards such as EN ISO 14122 Part 3, EN 13374 Class A, and OSHA regulations, ensuring full compliance and peace of mind for operators, contractors, and facility managers.

Whether used in new builds or retrofit projects, Kee Guard® offers a reliable, maintenance-free solution for collective fall protection.

    Rooftop Walkways

    Kee Walk® Roof Walkway

    Kee Walk® is a slip-resistant, modular walkway system designed to provide safe, defined access routes across data centre rooftops. Engineered with safety and durability in mind, it ensures secure footing for maintenance personnel while protecting the roof surface from foot traffic damage—particularly important in areas with delicate membranes or sensitive equipment.

    The system features anti-slip treads made from high-grade nylon or aluminium, suitable for all weather conditions. It can be installed on flat, pitched, or curved roofs, and adjusted to accommodate changes in level or roof angle. Kee Walk® is ideal for navigating around rooftop obstacles such as HVAC units, cable trays, and ducting.

    Fully compliant with international standards, including EN 516 Class 1-C, Kee Walk® not only enhances safety but also prolongs the lifespan of the roof by minimising wear and tear from regular access.

    Whether for new data centre installations or retrofits across Asia-Pacific, Kee Walk® delivers a practical, long-term solution for rooftop access.

    Modular Stepover Platforms

    Kee Step® Roof Crossovers

    Kee Step® Roof Crossovers are modular, pre-engineered systems that provide safe, elevated access over rooftop obstructions such as pipework, cable trays, ducts, and changes in roof level. These structures are essential for ensuring that maintenance teams can move freely and safely across the rooftop without stepping over or around hazardous obstacles.

    Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanised steel or aluminium, Kee Step® is designed to withstand the harsh rooftop environments common across the Asia-Pacific region. The slip-resistant treads and handrails enhance user safety, while the freestanding design ensures stability without penetrating the roof surface.

    Fully compliant with international safety standards like EN 14122-3 and OSHA, Kee Step® systems are customisable to suit different roof layouts and are quick to install with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

    By providing clear, protected routes across complex rooftops, Kee Step® crossovers reduce the risk of trips, slips, and falls—making them an essential component of any data centre’s rooftop safety strategy.

    Modular Safe Access Platform

    Kee Platform® Access System

    The Kee Platform® Access System is a modular, custom-built platform solution designed to provide secure and stable access at height—ideal for tasks such as servicing rooftop equipment or navigating complex installations. These platforms are engineered for quick assembly without the need for on-site welding, minimising disruption to operations and reducing installation time.

    Made from corrosion-resistant galvanised steel or aluminium, Kee Platform® systems are suitable for a wide range of rooftop environments across the Asia-Pacific region. They can be tailored to meet specific site requirements, including variations in roof level, access points, and equipment placement.

    Fully compliant with EN 14122 and OSHA standards, the Kee Platform® system ensures worker safety, operational efficiency, and long-term durability—all while preserving the integrity of the roof structure.
