Abstract
Abstract A safety barrier post apparatus adapted for the rapid installation of a safety barrier when used in connection with cables and which may also have kick rails attached thereto. A post-supporting clamp is adapted for easy attachment to a concrete slab and for the quick attachment of a vertical post and toe rail. The post has cable holders allowing cables to be held to each post in a secure manner when the cables are taut but easily installed or removed from the bracket without threading an end of the cable through each bracket. Special supports are provided for corner and gate posts and the present apparatus may be used as in a stair rail safety barrier.
