Lifeline systems solutions for workers on a rooftop

Improving Work-at-Height Safety with Kee Line Lifeline Systems in Ontario

Share

Project Overview

An established industrial services and millwrighting contractor based in Guelph, Ontario, required a compliant, permanent fall protection solution to support safe work-at-height activities within its facility.

With operations spanning mechanical maintenance, electrical services, and fabrication, the company regularly performs tasks at elevation—making fall protection a critical component of their health and safety program.

The company partnered with Kee Safety to design and install a solution aligned with Canadian safety standards, including the Occupational Health and Safety guidelines and applicable provincial regulations.

Permanent lifeline systems provide consistent protection and eliminate the uncertainty of temporary solutions.

The Challenge: Improving Work-at-Height Safety

An internal review of work-at-height activities identified the need to improve existing safety measures. Workers required safe and consistent access to the roof and elevated areas, but existing methods relied on temporary or less efficient solutions. The company needed a permanent system that would ensure compliance with safety regulations while minimizing disruption to daily operations.

The Solution: Kee Line Horizontal Lifeline System

Kee Safety supplied and installed a Kee Line horizontal lifeline system, designed to provide continuous fall protection across elevated work areas.

The system was:

Custom-designed to match the facility’s layout
Installed by trained professionals following manufacturer's specifications
Tested and verified to meet relevant standards such as CSA Z259

The Kee Line system allows multiple users to remain securely connected while moving freely, eliminating the need for temporary anchor points and reducing unsafe practices.

Continuous tie-off allows workers to move freely while staying protected at every step.

The Benefits

Enhanced Safety: Continuous tie-off reduces fall risks for workers operating at height.
Regulatory Compliance: Meets current safety standards and supports workplace compliance.
Improved Efficiency: Enables safe, uninterrupted access to elevated areas.
Reduced Reliance on Temporary Measures: Replaces short-term solutions with a permanent system.
Multi-User Capability: Supports multiple workers simultaneously without compromising safety.

By implementing a permanent horizontal lifeline system, the company significantly improved both safety performance and operational efficiency for work-at-height activities.

This project demonstrates Kee Safety’s ability to deliver engineered, standards-compliant fall protection solutions tailored to real-world industrial environments—where safety, reliability, and compliance are non-negotiable.
