Passive Safety
Passive Fall Protection refers to a system that is non-dynamic, stationary and does not change, move or adapt when in or out of use.
It does not require the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or active participation from an operative.
K Contracts Ltd installs the following Passive Solutions:
Guardrails
Roof Edge Guardrails can be installed on any flat roof such as Single Ply, Standing Seam and Concrete. Most systems are contra-balanced and non-penetrative.
Options include:
- Aluminium, Galvanised or Powder-Coated finish.
- Collapsible Systems.
- Side Fixed Systems.
- Self Closing Gates.
- Certified to EN133741 and EN141223 standards.


Roof Walkways
Roof Walkways are primarily installed to protect roofs from wear and tear when subjected to maintenance traffic and to offer a safe demarcation route from any potential risks.
Generally Walkways can be fitted to:
- Metal Cladding Roofs.
- Standing Seam roofs.
- PVC Membrane Roofs.
- Valley Walkways.
- Fall Protection Panels.
- Levelled Walkway and Pitched Roofs.
Roof Access Ladders/Stepovers
K Contracts Ltd offers a bespoke design, fabrication and installation of Roof Access Ladders, Stepovers and Platforms to B4211 and BS 5395 standards.
Options include:
- Galvanised, Steel and Aluminium.
- Internal and External.
- Ladder to facilitate access and egress.
- Lockable to prevent unauthorised access.
- Cross over platforms.
- Non penetrative big foot supports – top and bottom.
- Integrated fall protection cable and rail.



Solar Panel Support Posts
With the ever-increasing reliance on renewable energy and roofs being used as generators of power via the installation of solar panels – guardrails have been redesigned to account for the reduced space on roof areas.
In addition, the attributes of the fall protection post, in terms of fixings and sealing – retrospectively enable solar panels to be fitted more effectively than the more traditional yet invasive through-the-roof method.
Non Penetrative Fall Restraint Lines
It is not always the preferred option to mechanically fit a horizontal lifeline to a roof – especially on a listed building.
K Contracts Ltd can offer Non-Penetrative, Horizontal Lifelines suitable for two users in Fall Restraint or for one user in Fall Arrest.
Designed to be used on surfaces up to 5 degree pitch – these are tested and CE Approved to EU 795:2012 Type E.
