INTEGRATED SAFETY RAIL PROTECTION SYSTEM
A unique safety rail system with integrated ergonomically effective hand-grip projections, structures for affixing said system for the safe and easy egress and ingress through an opening, such as roof or floor access holes. Said safety rail system is designed to reduce the risk of falls while ascending or descending a ladder through an access hole while providing additional protection and prevention of personnel accidentally falling through an open access. A self-closing gravity gate may be provided acting as additional hand-grip, support, and barrier. This invention may employ cost effective methods of construction and assembly using a unique continuous tubular structure of converging vertical and angular upright post with horizontal upper safety rail, forward protruding ergonomically effecting hand-grip and opposing directionally horizontal lower attachment support means reducing lateral motion and allows efficient installation for new construction or retro fitting of existing openings.
