Temporary safety guardrail for construction sites
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.
ROOFTOP PERIMETER SAFETY SYSTEM
A safety barrier system for use in roofing and other roof-top projects requiring perimeter safety fencing or railing. Multiple, adjustable components allow for separation of support members from a rooftop deck for application of roofing material, adaptation for installations involving a varieties of rooftop perimeter configurations and obstacles, and, in some embodiments, later reinstallation without requirements for reinstallation of building side anchor components.
Collapsible safety barrier and support post
A collapsible safety barrier and support post for releasably securing between a ceiling structure and a floor structure. The safety barrier and support post comprises a plurality of longitudinal rails hingedly secured to a first end post and to a second end post, an extension rail releasably engageable with the second end post, and a latching mechanism to releasably secure the extension rail to the second end post. The safety barrier has a deployed position and a collapsed position. When in its deployed position the barrier is secured between a floor and a ceiling structure. When in its collapsed position the longitudinal rails, the first and second end posts, and the extension rail are positioned generally parallel and adjacent to one another.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR A BALCONY ACCESS STATUS ALERT SYSTEM
A barrier that is releasably secured across an ingress/egress to a balcony or other elevated platform. The barrier is a fence-style assembly that has a pair of vertical posts that are releasably secured within respective boots secured to the floor. One of the boots includes a switch-activated transmitter that is inactive when the respective post is seated in the boot. If the post is pulled out of the boot, the switch-activated transmitter transmits a wireless signal to a transceiver located on the barrier which then transmits a signal to an on-site controller that transmits respective text messages to authorized personnel informing them of the barrier removal and restoration and will continue to do so until the barrier status changes. The transceiver may be housed within a housing that also contains a visual and/or audible warning at the barrier vicinity to warn those in the vicinity of the barrier removal.
Safety gate
A foldable safety gate apparatus for use in relation to a hoist or lift, comprising: a main safety gate body, said main safety gate body comprising: a gate frame forming an opening; and a gate, wherein the gate frame holds said gate within the opening for preventing entry into a hoist car; a cantilever platform, said cantilever platform comprising: a supporting arm for securing to a slab; and two or more load points or securing the cantilever platform to the slab; wherein, when in a deployed state, the main safety gate body is substantially perpendicular to the cantilever platform, and, when in a collapsed state, the main safety gate body rests substantially parallel to the cantilever platform.
Fall restraint system
The present system for fall restraint includes a mounting frame connected to a trigger mechanism and firing blocks, with a trigger cable extending through apertures in the mounting frame and trigger mechanism. Sudden movement by a user, such as a fall, actuates the trigger mechanism to trigger the firing blocks. The firing blocks are loaded with anchors and firing cartridges. Triggering the firing blocks causes the cartridges to fire, propelling the anchors into an anchoring surface, such as a roof. Because the user is connected to the trigger cable, once the anchors deploy the user is anchored to the roof and their fall arrested.
INTERLOCKING PANELS
The disclosed interlocking panel systems are portable, self-supporting, and modular. They may function as guards around the sides, rear, and a surface of a workspace and can be disassembled by one person and transported to a sink for cleaning or another location for use or storage. They may also function as structural panels for constructing an enclosure, such as a building.
ROOFTOP PERIMETER SAFETY SYSTEM
A rooftop perimeter safety system is a barrier system that may include a plurality of supports configured to be secured to a roof top. Each support may include one or more brackets secured to an upright member. The bracket includes at least one cable retainer configured to support a cable therein to form a cable barrier and at least one rail retainer configured to support a rail therein to form a rail barrier. The rooftop perimeter safety system may include at least one cable to form the cable barrier, at least one rail to form the rail barrier, or both the at least one cable and the at least one rail, depending on the application.
Apparatus and method for a balcony access status alert system
A barrier that is releasably secured across an ingress/egress to a balcony or other elevated platform. The barrier is a fence-style assembly that has a pair of vertical posts that are releasably secured within respective boots secured to the floor. One of the boots includes a switch-activated transmitter that is inactive when the respective post is seated in the boot. If the post is pulled out of the boot, the switch-activated transmitter transmits a wireless signal to a transceiver located on the barrier which then transmits a signal to an on-site controller that transmits respective text messages to authorized personnel informing them of the barrier removal and restoration and will continue to do so until the barrier status changes. The transceiver may be housed within a housing that also contains a visual and/or audible warning at the barrier vicinity to warn those in the vicinity of the barrier removal.
AUTOMATED SAFETY RAIL SYSTEM
An automated safety rail system for use on an elevated surface or for temporarily blocking off a restricted area, the automated safety rail system broadly includes primary support structures, horizontally extending support structures, an actuator for shifting the support structures between a disengaged and an engaged configuration, and an electronic control system.
