Installation of Kee Track should always be performed by qualified personnel to ensure safety and compliance. Here’s a brief overview of the installation process:
Site Assessment: Conduct a thorough inspection of the installation site to determine suitable mounting locations. Ensure that the supporting structure can handle the loads imposed by the fall protection system.
Mounting the Rail: Mark the appropriate positions for the anchor points based on the system layout plan. Use the provided hardware to securely attach the rail sections to the structure, ensuring that they are level and aligned correctly.
Assemble the Trolley: Attach the trolley to the rail, checking for smooth and unrestricted movement. This component is essential for providing the user with mobility while maintaining secure fall protection.
System Testing: Perform load testing and operational checks as recommended by Kee Safety to ensure the system functions correctly. This includes verifying that the trolley moves freely along the rail and that all connections are secure.
To safely operate the Kee Track system, follow these guidelines:
Pre-Use Inspection: Before using the system, inspect the rail, trolley, and all connections for any signs of damage or wear. Check the user’s harness and lanyard for fraying, wear, or other defects.
Using the System: Attach the lanyard to the trolley’s designated connection point. Ensure the harness fits correctly, with all straps adjusted for a snug and secure fit. Perform a quick movement test to confirm the trolley’s smooth operation along the rail.
Safe Operation: Always remain connected to the trolley when working at height. Move steadily along the rail, avoiding sudden movements that could affect the stability of the system. Be mindful of the designated safety zone covered by the Kee Track system.
Regular maintenance and inspection are crucial for the continued safe operation of the Kee Track system. Follow these basic maintenance guidelines:
Visual Inspections: Regularly check the rail, trolley, and anchor points for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure that all bolts and connections remain tight and secure.
Operational Checks: Test the trolley’s movement along the rail before each use. If any resistance or unusual noise is detected, inspect the system for potential obstructions or alignment issues.
Reporting Issues: If any part of the system appears compromised, report it immediately to a qualified safety officer and refrain from using the system until it has been repaired or replaced as necessary.
Note: For detailed maintenance schedules and specific procedures, refer to the official Kee Track documentation or consult Kee Safety’s customer support.
