Consistent Fall Protection for Elevated Material Handling Operations


Project Overview

As Sierra Construction Group continued the construction of multiple Soprema facilities across Ontario, the company required a consistent solution for transferring materials between elevated work levels while maintaining fall protection for workers.
Kee Safety supplied and installed Kee Pivot Pallet Gates to help standardize material handling protection across project sites and reduce exposure to fall hazards during loading and unloading operations.

Pallet Gate Solution Supports Consistent Fall Protection Across Soprema Construction Sites

The Challenge

Sierra Construction Group, a general contractor responsible for building new Soprema facilities throughout Ontario, needed a reliable way to move pallets and materials between working levels during construction. Workers loading and unloading materials at elevated edges required protection from fall hazards while maintaining productivity on site.

The company was looking for a solution that could:

  • Protect workers during material transfer operations.
  • Support safe movement of materials between levels.
  • Meet project and occupational health and safety requirements.
  • Be implemented consistently across multiple Soprema construction projects.

The Solution: Engineered Pivot Pallet Gates for Safety, Compliance, and Operational Efficiency

Kee Safety supplied and installed two Kee Pivot Pallet Gates as part of the project at the Tillsonburg, Ontario location. The pallet gate system was selected to provide continuous protection while materials are loaded and unloaded at elevated working surfaces.

Designed for mezzanines and elevated loading areas, the Kee Pivot Pallet Gate helps separate workers from open edges while allowing materials to be safely transferred between levels. The solution can be integrated with new or existing guardrail systems and features durable, component-based construction that supports straightforward maintenance and long-term use.

The Benefits

By implementing Kee Pivot Pallet Gates across its projects, Sierra Construction Group established a more consistent approach to elevated material handling protection throughout Ontario. 

  • Standardized Protection Across Multiple Sites: Using the same solution across multiple facilities helped create a uniform approach to protecting workers working at height. 
  • Improved Material Handling Operations: The pallet gate system allows materials to be transferred between levels while maintaining separation from fall hazards during loading and unloading activities.
  • Durable, Low-Maintenance Solution: With minimal moving parts and replaceable components, the Kee Pivot system provides long-term reliability for demanding construction environments.

The Hierarchy of Fall Protection

A truly comprehensive rooftop solution follows the Hierarchy of Fall Protection. An expert starts by inspecting the roof site for potential fall hazards. From there, a complete system solution and recommendations are created that descend down the four levels of the hierarchy, from simple, sensible approaches for eliminating risks all the way down to lifesaving personal protection systems. 

Collective Systems require no additional training to use. Fall Restraint and Fall Arrest Systems both require a high level of user competency, training and additional inspection to be used properly.
