A post for a temporary safety rail system comprising a base for reversible engagement with a floor, a rail holder to hold a rail in reversibly fixed engagement with the post and a plurality of components which are together operable to adjust the height of the post.

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.

A safety gate includes a first column, disposed on a first side of an elevator shaft, a second column, disposed on a second side of the elevator shaft, a first gate panel, and a second gate panel. The first gate panel is coupled to the first column via a first locking hinge. The second gate panel is coupled to the second column via a second locking hinge.

There is provided an erectable compression post for installing temporary fencing. The erectable compression post including: an upper portion positionable in engagement with a ceiling; a lower portion positionable in engagement with a floor, the upper portion moveable vertically within the lower portion; a fence retaining portion affixed to the upper portion or the lower portion; a compression assembly to bias the upper portion away from the lower portion; and a locking assembly to lock a position of the upper portion relative to the lower portion, the locking assembly including: a handle rotatably connected to the lower portion; and a tilting plate positioned around the upper portion and tiltable via urging by the handle to frictionally engage the upper portion to retain the upper portion relative to the lower portion.

A perimeter warning system is provided having a plurality of substantive stand bases and stanchions, which when combined together with a flag line provide a means to demark the perimeter of a surface across which there is danger. The stand bases include a surface onto which an insertion sleeve is placed, for holding the stanchion stably, and an opening symmetrically equidistant from the center of the surface of the stand base from the sleeve. In this way, stand bases can be stacked together with the sleeve of one placed in the opening in the surface of the other for stability. The system includes storage and transportation elements; wherein the surface of the base stand defines an opening through which the pillar of a storage unit can be threaded to stack the plurality of base stands together onto the storage element. Stanchions are provided with storage boxes configured to stack together neatly and stably.

A construction roofing safety anchoring assembly and method that permits a roofing construction worker to harness himself or herself to a stable, yet movable, rooftop anchor. The anchoring assembly features a mobile safety anchor having a safety harness coupled to a retractable cable and counterweighted anchoring assembly, wherein the assembly automatically and instantly acts to impede and stop any accidents or falls experienced by the rooftop worker. The safety anchoring assembly and method thus allows the worker to engage in unrestricted rooftop work efforts while the worker is also afforded substantially less risk of fall or injury.

A safety rail apparatus is provided, which comprises a post with a base configured to reversibly engage with a floor and providing support for at least 12 kN load, a rail holder configured to hold a rail in reversibly fixed engagement with the post and a plurality of components which are together operable to adjust the height of the post between a lower height of 900 mm-1.2 m and an upper height of 1.9 m-2.5 m. The plurality of compontents is further configured to adjust the height of the post to the lower height during one stage of a construction project and to the upper height during another stage of the construction project such that the upper height is at least 1.8 times higher than the lower height. The apparatus further comprises a mesh support configured to reversibly engage with the rail and support a mesh.

The present disclosure relates to a support post for releasable fixation between a first floor and a second floor, the support post comprising: a first and a second elongate member, the first and second elongate member being telescopically connected to one another, a first floor engaging member positioned at the upper end of the first elongate member, a second floor engaging member positioned at the lower end of the second elongate member, a blocking member for selectively blocking or releasing a retraction of the first elongate member with respect to the second elongate member, the blocking member having a blocking plate with an aperture for passing the first elongate member therethrough.

A support post for releasable fixation between a first and a second floor, comprising: a first and a second elongate member telescopically connected to one another, first floor and second floor engaging members positioned at the ends of the first and second elongate members, a displacement unit for displacing the first floor engaging member, a spring biasing the first floor engaging member in a direction away from the first elongate member, the first floor engaging member being moveable in towards the upper end of the first elongate member against the force of the spring, a first inspection window in the first elongate member, a second inspection window adjacent to the first inspection window, an indicator having a first marking arranged at the second inspection window in a relaxed state of the spring, and having a second marking arranged at the second inspection window in a loaded state of the spring.

A mobile safety fall arrest cart is provided. The mobile safety fall arrest cart is configured to move along an edge of an elevated surface as a worker works along the edge. The worker is connected to the cart with a safety line. If the worker falls from the elevated surface, the weight of the worker causes a spike assembly to move from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration, a spike member engages the elevated surface so as to assist in arresting the worker's fall.
