How To Protect Workers On Data Centre Rooftops

Ensuring the Continuous Running of Data Centres

Data centers are complex facilities that rely on a variety of systems and equipment to ensure uninterrupted operation. These systems, including ventilation and cooling systems, UPS, generators, and cabling, are often located on and around the data center perimeter.

Regular maintenance and inspections are essential to keep these systems running smoothly, and this requires safe and efficient access solutions. Access solutions should be installed in a way that minimizes the risk of damage to the roof waterproofing and disruption to data center operations.

Fall Protection Products for Data Centres

Kee Guard^® Rooftop Guardrail

Roof edge protection, such as guardrails, is the preferred option for unprotected edges as they safeguard workers on the roof at all times and avoid the need for user training. Our Kee Guard roof guardrails can be free-standing, which means they simply sit on the roof and don’t require fixing through the roof’s membrane.

Kee Step^® Roof Crossovers

Rooftops contain a variety of trip hazards. Changes in level, M&E equipment, and obstacles such as pipework, cable trays, and conduits can make a simple maintenance task dangerous if the worker has to navigate around or over these hazards. Step-overs are simple, but effective ways to provide a safe route over an obstacle or to a different roof level.
