Abstract: A wall opening fall protection support system is provided having a pair of brackets, each bracket of the pair having a substantially planar mounting portion, a support portion, a retaining portion including a locking element, and a standoff element, wherein the retaining portion is resiliently joined to the support portion. The system can further include a rail securable to each bracket by the retaining portion so as to be at least partially surrounded by the support portion, the retaining portion and the standoff element.

Abstract: A method of processing bivalve molluscs comprises filling a basket-like container (11) with the bivalve molluscs and vibrating the bivalve molluscs within the container (11), thereby inducing them to close tightly under stress and compacting them together. A lid (12) is closed to maintain the compact configuration of the bivalve molluscs, which are cooked by immersing the container into boiling seawater, before being removed and plunged into chilled water to halt the cooking process. The bivalve molluscs are then blast frozen. Because the shells of the bivalve molluscs are tightly closed and better compaction is achieved by vibrating the bivalve molluscs than by compressing them into the container (11), the shells are unable to open and the internal juices are retained within the shells throughout the cooking, chilling and freezing steps, thereby resulting in processed bivalve molluscs having greatly improved organoleptic qualities upon thawing.
