Abstract: A safety equipment for use on a trailer to reduce the risk of an operator failing from a load on the trailer. The safety equipment includes an arm having an articulating portion, a feature for selectively securing the arm to the periphery of the trailer, a feature associated with the arm for enabling the articulating portion thereof to pivot toward and away from a widthwise edge of the trailer in a plane approximately parallel to the bed of the trailer, a feature for securing the articulating portion at any one of a plurality of articulated positions, a post extending from the arm in a direction transverse to the pivot plane of the articulating portion, a cable having a first portion thereof secured to the post, and a feature for securing a second portion of the cable at the oppositely-disposed widthwise edge of the trailer such that the cable extends along a lengthwise direction of the trailer.
