safety bars

Grip rails installed

Safety bars are protective railings or barriers designed to prevent falls or provide support.

On gym equipment like squat racks, safety bars catch the weight if you fail a lift.

On cribs and beds, they keep sleepers from rolling out.

On windows, they prevent falls or intrusion: The apartment had safety bars on every window.
