CertainTeed, a leading North American manufacturer of building materials and a subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, contacted Kee Safety to address a critical safety concern at their Lethbridge, Alberta facility. With a long-standing relationship built on previous successful collaborations, CertainTeed trusted our team to deliver a reliable solution.
The facility had a “runway” area located directly beside active train tracks—a significant safety hazard for both employees and equipment. Workers and vehicles, including forklifts and sweepers, frequently moved through this zone, raising the risk of accidents. The site required a permanent barrier that would prevent falls into the tracks and withstand the impact of in-plant traffic.
The Traffic Shield Safety Barrier provided CertainTeed with a durable, OSHA-compliant solution that eliminated a high-risk hazard near active train tracks
Kee Safety provided the Traffic Shield Safety Barrier, a robust guardrail system designed to protect employees, equipment, and infrastructure from vehicle collisions and high-risk fall hazards. The solution included:
The barriers were sourced from Omega, with delivery to Lethbridge in under a month. Installation was completed in just three days, ensuring minimal disruption to facility operations.
Installation was completed in just three days, delivering long-term protection for both workers and equipment with minimal disruption to operations.

Impact Resistance: The Omega Traffic Shields safeguard both workers and equipment from moving forklifts and vehicles.
Professional Appearance: The system enhances the facility’s safety standards while maintaining a clean, professional look.
