Abstract
A fall protection safety rail system has a rail defining a trolley channel therein. The rail also defines exterior side and top attachment channels. The system has a support which engages the side attachment channels to support the rail either side thereof. One type of support may comprise a hanger channel bracket having a web and flanges spaced apart so that the flanges fit against the sides of the rail. The side and top attachment channels may be dual-purposed for connecting rail sections together using respective splices. Furthermore, the side attachment channels may overlap with the trolley channel along a vertical axis but not along a horizontal axis to confer a low profile rail configuration having enhanced resilience and capability.
