Data centers rely on various equipment like ventilation systems, UPS units, generators, and cabling networks for smooth operation. Much of this infrastructure sits on rooftops, requiring engineers and contractors to have easy access for inspections, maintenance, and emergencies.
Safety is crucial in this elevated environment. Installing safe access, stepovers, lifelines, guardrails, walkways, and warning lines protects against falls and hazards, ensuring worker confidence.
At Safeguard Safety, we specialize in safety solutions for data center personnel. From innovative fall protection to durable walkways, we prioritize worker well-being while supporting data center operations.
Rooftops present various hazards, particularly on data center rooftops where unprotected edges and obstacles are common. Regular review of key hazard areas is essential to ensure safe work at height. Adhering to the hierarchy of fall protection is paramount for the safety of workers on these rooftops. This hierarchy outlines the preferred sequence of controls to either eliminate or minimize fall hazards, beginning with hazard elimination, followed by passive fall protection, active work restraint, active fall arrest, and finally, administrative controls.
These versatile Horizontal Lifeline Systems are configured to provide reliable tieoff for worker restraint or fall arrest in either permanent or temporary solutions depending on the need. Systems are uniquely designed to provide hands free work on a variety of rooftops including membrane, standing seam, composite or green.
These products meet all applicable OSHA, ANSI and CSA standards for fall protection including EN 795 2012, CEN TS 16415:2013, ANSI Z359 & CSA Z259.
Safeguard’s permanent and temporary guardrail systems feature a modular design that takes the complexity and high cost out of roof edge protection for good. Systems integrate with existing ladders, equipment, and obstructions and provide durable OSHA and ANSI compliant fall protection for all standard rooftops including Membrane, Metal Profile, and Standing Seam up to 45°.
Fully tested and meets or exceeds current all applicable OSHA, ANSI and CSA standards for leading edge rooftop protection fall protection.
Kee Walk® Roof Walkway Systems provide a non-penetrating, safe, anti-slip walking surface. Systems can be used on flat, barrel and sloping roofs. Available with steps, longitudinal and traverse options allowing access to be created for virtually any roof configuration from 0 to 35 degrees. Step over designs are configured by our fall protection specialists using modular components and kits to provide a safe access solution over rooftop obstructions such as pipework, plant equipment and conduits.
Our railing system and self-closing safety gate safeguard this roof access point by enclosing the opening, effectively mitigating risks. The railing provides protection even when the hatch is open, serving as a grab rail for climbers and facilitating safer transitions. The mounting brackets securely bolt to the hatch frame, preventing any damage to your roof membrane.
