Embodiments of the disclosure provide a safety rail. The safety rail may include a body disposed on first and second adjustable boots. The first and second adjustable boots may be adapted to secure the safety rail to an excavation support structure. The body may include a lower rail connected to the first and second adjustable boots.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure can include a fencing assembly. In some embodiments, the fencing assembly can include a top cross-member including a first channel. In some embodiments, the fencing assembly can include a bottom cross-member including a second channel that opposes the first channel. In some embodiments, the fencing assembly can include a first vertical support member, wherein the first vertical support member is connected to a first end of the top cross-member and a first end of the bottom cross-member. In some embodiments, the fencing assembly can include a second vertical support member, wherein the second vertical support member is connected to a second end of the top cross-member and a second end of the bottom cross-member. In some embodiments, the fencing assembly can include a planar barrier, wherein the planar barrier is inserted into the first channel and the second channel and is confined on a first and second side of the planar barrier by the first vertical support member and the second vertical support member.

A rackable panel for a barrier is disclosed. The panel includes a rail having a top wall and first and second walls extending downward from the top wall, forming a channel. The panel further includes one or more upright members, and one or more coupling systems for indirectly coupling the upright members to the rail. Each coupling system comprises a bracket having a bridge, the bracket structured to be secured to an inner surface a rail side wall; and a coupling hook structured to receive the bridge within a channel and be secured to an upright member. The bridge is rotatable within the channel, such that the rail can be racked at a positive or negative slope when a force is applied to the rail, while the upright members stay substantially vertical, enabling the panel to be used on a wide variety of terrains.
