A recent news story highlights the devastating consequences of railing failure. A couple nearly died after a barrier collapsed during what should have been a joyful moment. It is a tragic example of what can happen when a safety railing is not fit for purpose. Whether in public or private spaces, the failure of a single component can change lives forever.
This blog explores how such tragedies can be prevented. We examine the differences between fabricated and modular systems, outline why modular safety railings offer significant advantages, and explain how Kee Safety solutions are tested to the highest standards. Finally, we share how you can take action with a free site safety survey.
Conventional fabricated safety barriers are typically welded into place on-site. While often cost-effective initially, these systems carry several risks:
Welds can develop cracks or weaknesses over time, especially in outdoor applications.
Repairs are invasive and often require cutting, re-welding, or replacing entire sections.
Inspection can be difficult, and failures may go unnoticed until it is too late.
By contrast, modular safety railings like the Kee Klamp® system provide a reliable alternative:
Components are fastened using a simple hex key, without welding.
Repairs are quick. Damaged components can be removed and replaced without disturbing the entire railing.
Made from galvanised steel, the system is designed for long-term corrosion resistance, helping it withstand harsh weather and heavy use.
Installation is straightforward and does not require specialist tools or labour.
From industrial environments such as warehouses or commercial premises to public spaces, these modular systems help minimise disruption and reduce risk.

Kee Klamp® components are hot-dip galvanised, offering strong corrosion resistance even in tough outdoor environments. For indoor applications, powder coated finishes are also available to suit visual or branding requirements. This makes the system suitable for various applications, from pedestrian walkways to safety barriers along warehouse walls.
All Kee Klamp® fittings are manufactured under strict quality controls. The system complies with recognised safety standards, including BS EN and OSHA, and is rigorously tested to ensure every component meets performance expectations. Kee Safety is a company trusted worldwide for delivering safety at the highest level.
The modular design of Kee Klamp® makes it ideal for multiple industries and environments. Railings, guardrails, and handrails can be configured to suit changing site requirements. Fittings, tubes, and accessories are sold separately, giving flexibility to create a railing system that fits the space and the safety needs precisely.

Whether installed to protect equipment, define pedestrian walkways, or provide fall protection on elevated platforms, the system offers scalable protection with minimal components.
With no welding required, Kee Klamp® systems can be installed quickly with minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Only a hex key or allen key is needed to secure components. If a section is damaged, it can be replaced without the need for cutting, grinding, or hot work permits.
This approach supports both short-term projects and long-term maintenance strategies, making it a highly practical solution for customers seeking reliable safety systems.
Fewer points of failure: No welds means fewer weak spots in the structure.
Adaptability: As projects evolve, modular systems can be reconfigured to maintain protection.
Rapid repairs: Damaged components can be swapped out quickly to maintain barrier integrity.
Consistent compliance: Modular railings from Kee Safety are rigorously tested to meet industry standards.
Supports safe environments: Whether in a factory, warehouse, or public walkway, the right railings help protect people from falls and other workplace accidents.
