Abstract:
A guardrail system for enhanced fall protection during the construction of a multi-story building subsequent to steel erection. The guardrail system includes an elongated bar comprising a first relatively short portion and a second relatively long portion that define an obtuse angle therebetween, and one or more apertures in both the first portion and the second portion of the bar. A plate is provided to be bolted to the first portion of the elongated bar in order to removably attach the bar to a perimeter frame element of a multi-story building frame with the second portion extending upwardly and inwardly into the building. Cable is then pulled through one or more apertures of the second portions of a selected plurality of elongated bars secured to a perimeter frame element to complete the guardrail system.
