Abstract
Abstract For use about the perimeter during construction of multi-story building, a safety railing comprising a plurality of substantially vertical stanchions interconnected with substantially horizontal safety cables, the stanchions being vertically slidably secured to two lower floors and extending upwardly a suffidient distance to form a safety railing about the perimeter of a third, upper floor. Each stanchion may be vertically raised so as to continually protect the perimeter of each uppermost floor as the same is formed in the progress of construction. By virtue of being fastened to lower floors and extending in cantilever fashion to the uppermost floor without being fastened thereto, a safety railing is provided on the uppermost floor before workmen are permitted general unrestricted access thereto.
