A modular safety fence assembly is disclosed. The safety fence may include a fence panel assembly having a top rail, a bottom rail, and mesh panel. The safety fence panel assembly may also support post assembly capable of supporting the fence panel assembly and an anchor assembly which may anchor the support post assembly to the floor using one or more relatively shallow holes formed in the floor.

GRAB PLATE ASSEMBLY
20230407653 · 2023-12-21 ·

A grab plate assembly for retaining an inner cylindrical tube in a fixed telescopic position relative to an outer cylindrical tube in a telescoping post. The assembly comprises a grab plate having a polygonal tube receiving opening therein, a lever arm integral with and angled relative to the grab plate, and an actuating rod. Turning the actuating rod in a first direction lifts the lever arm causing multiple side edges of the tube receiving opening to compressively engage multiple points on the inner cylindrical tube thereby resisting telescopic movement of the inner cylindrical tube relative to the outer cylindrical tube. Turning the actuating rod in a second opposite direction lowers the lever arm causing the side edges of the tube receiving opening to disengage from the inner cylindrical tube and to permit telescopic movement of the inner cylindrical tube relative to the outer cylindrical tube.

ROOFING GUARD FOR CARPENTERS
20210017778 · 2021-01-21 ·

In various aspects and embodiments a roofing guard device 200, 202 comprises a mount portion 210, optional brace portion 220, lateral supports 240, restraint flanges 214, 216, and fencing post 275 for engagement of fencing panels 300, as well as optional fall-arrest mount 230. By securely supporting fencing 300 and optional foot braces 12, the roofing guard device 200, 202 and corresponding roofing systems reduce the likelihood of workers or materials falling from roofs or other high places.

Construction safety railing assemblies, components, and methods for storage, transport, and installation
10843718 · 2020-11-24 ·

The construction industry ranks among the largest and most dangerous industries in the world. To promote worker safety, government regulations require use of fall protection equipment, such as railings, many of which are expensive, wasteful, and/or time consuming to use. Accordingly, the present inventor devised some alternatives. One exemplary system incorporates a dual post base plate configured for attachment to a concrete floor via a single concrete anchor bolt, instead of the multiple bolts used conventionally, thereby reducing assembly time and cost. Another embodiment includes a rolling cart assembly which stores the rails in a side-by-side vertical arrangement and the base plates in an interleaved sequence, promoting easy access during installation and inventory control during disassembly and storage. Additionally, some embodiments include four stacking posts that extend upward from the cart, enabling multiple carts to be stacked vertical on atop the other to save space on construction sites.

Temporary safety guardrail for construction sites
10815685 · 2020-10-27 ·

A temporary safety guardrail for construction sites is provided. The guardrail includes specially designed anchoring members configured to accept removable posts which vertically extend from each anchoring member. On top of each posts, a guardrail is provided in two versions, a fixed length handrail or a telescopic handrail. Either handrail is connected directly to a fixed bracket, or indirectly by way of one or more orientable bracket so that the guardrail can be oriented to different angles so as to follow the building's contour, such as going up and down staircases or doing corners.

A barrier material for a containment system comprising: a first portion of polymeric material having an open structure defined by a plurality of small openings to function as a line screen, the first portion of polymeric material being formed from a plurality of fibrous materials and being configured to form a static structure having a display surface; and a second portion attached to a second surface of the first portion, the second portion having an open structure defined by a plurality openings to function as a reinforcing member for the first portion; wherein the display surface of the first portion is configured to receive and retain a printed image thereon.

Perimeter Protection System for a Horizontal Formwork System, and Method of Assembly of a Perimeter Protection System
20200240155 · 2020-07-30 ·

A perimeter protection system for protecting operators against lateral falling when installing formwork panels in a horizontal formwork system. According to one embodiment the perimeter protection system includes a perimeter protection structure configured for being fixed, in a working position, to the horizontal formwork system, and at least one auxiliary device configured for being fixed to the horizontal formwork system and for fixing the perimeter protection structure to the horizontal formwork system. The auxiliary device includes guiding means collaborating with a guide of the perimeter protection structure for positioning the perimeter protection structure in an initial assembly position. In the initial assembly position the structure is configured to be raised up to an intermediate position where it is permitted to swing until it is positioned in the working position.

TEMPORARY PERIMETER CONTAINMENT ASSEMBLY
20240060319 · 2024-02-22 ·

A temporary perimeter containment assembly is to be disposed adjacent an edge of a floor of a building during construction, to extend from the floor surface to the ceiling of the floor, to act as a safety barrier for workers and equipment and to provide additional functional features for construction. A plurality of the containment assemblies are arranged side by side, and on multiple floors, to cover the exposed side openings between the floors of the building during construction. The containment assemblies provide a barrier between the working side and the live edge side of the building. Each containment assembly extends to and contacts the ceiling to provide full coverage from the floor to the ceiling.
