Abstract
A safety railing assembly for a platform comprises a plurality of railing modules each having two upright post portions and at least one horizontal hand rail portion interconnected between the post portions. A plurality of mounting means are provided for supporting the modules along the periphery of the platform, the mounting means for each module comprising at least first and second clamps adapted to be slideably positioned along the fastened to the platform. The clamps have post receiving apertures shaped to receive and retain the posts in upright orientation. A substantially planar safety panel is coupled to the post and hand rail portions of each module for substantially enclosing a planar area defined by the post and hand rail portions and the platform. Fixed or rotatable end gate safety railing modules may also be provided.
