Handrails, guardrails and barriers
Handrails, guardrails and barriers are routinely fitted on one or both sides of a railway track; on parapets, bridges and other high risk areas; and, alongside access ramps, staircases and gradients in and around stations, and the wider rail network. These structures not only protect important trackside equipment and workers where there is a risk of a fall from height, they also assist with passenger guidance, and help secure safe, easy access for rail users and maintenance teams.
Among recently completed projects, Kee Safety provided Transport for London (TfL) with a safety barrier solution which helps protect employees working at height on elevated viaduct and railway bridges on the East London Rail Line. Specified by Carillion, this impressive installation extends for a 4km length between Shoreditch Station and Dalston Station, taking into account many changes in direction.
