  • Publication number: 20160346570
    Abstract: A scaffolding safety device is mountable to a scaffolding structure having a pair of spaced apart vertical structures and a platform horizontally extending therebetween for supporting a worker. The device comprises an elongate body, a pair of connectors and a safety line. The elongate body defines opposite longitudinal ends and each connector is positioned at or near a respective longitudinal end for being connected to a respective one of the spaced apart vertical structures thereby providing the elongate body to be horizontally disposed between the spaced apart vertical structures. The safety line comprises resilient material mounted at each longitudinal end thereof to or near a respective one of the longitudinal ends of the elongated body for horizontally and slackingly extending along a least a portion of the longitudinal length of the elongated body. The safety line provides for connecting a safety harness worn by the worker thereto.

  • Patent number: 9487967
    Abstract: A kit for a temporary barrier includes at least two vertical post members, a contiguous wire and a tensioning device. The at least two vertical post members define respective top and bottom ends thereof and are positioned on an underlying surface in a spaced apart relationship. The wire runs between the two vertical post members at least towards their respective top ends and at least towards their respective bottom ends thereby providing a top wire portion and a bottom wire portion extending between the two vertical post members. The two vertical post members have respective arcuate bodies along their respective length for arcuately receiving the wire. The tensioning device is mounted to one of the two vertical post members near one of the top or bottom ends thereof and provides tension to the wire. A barrier is provided by the previous kit. A method for building a temporary kit includes mounting vertical posts on an underlying surface in a spaced apart relationship and running a wire between them.
