safety rail
Grip bar installation
A safety rail is a horizontal bar or barrier designed to prevent falls or keep people from entering dangerous areas.
Safety rails appear on staircases, balconies, elevated platforms, and around machinery.
The term overlaps with handrail and guardrail, though safety rail emphasizes the protective function: Workers installed safety rails along the catwalk.
