1. A safety barrier system for use in multi-story building construction or maintenance comprising: at least one elongated safety barrier net which is capable of extending from the proximity of the edge of one floor, deck or slab of a building structure and projecting upwardly to a higher level above the level of the edge of a superimposed higher floor, deck or slab of the structure by an amount sufficient to constitute an effective safety barrier for workers located at said higher level and to provide a barrier to prevent debris from falling from the higher or adjacent levels, wherein said safety barrier net is flexible, wherein said safety barrier net is fixedly attached to at least two vertical support members such that the barrier net is held in place substantially parallel to the exterior plane of the building to be constructed or which is being maintained, each said vertical support member being slidably engaged with a bracket structure and wherein said bracket structure is fixedly attached to an outer edge of a floor, deck or slab of said building structure, wherein said vertical support member is slidably engaged with a portion of said bracket structure which extends past the edge of said floor, deck or slab and wherein said superimposed higher floor, deck or slab is either a future floor or slab to be constructed or is incomplete, wherein the barrier net is comprised of a border rope that supports a heavy debris liner comprised of strands, twine or rope approximately 3/16 inch diameter spaced approximately 4 to 6 inches center to center, a fine liner comprised of strands, twine or rope approximately ½ the diameter of the heavy debris liner spaced approximately ¼ inch center to center and an approximately 1 inch diameter heavy duty strap placed approximately every foot horizontally, thereby forming a triple layer safety net to stop construction debris from blowing off said higher or adjacent levels of a building during construction operations. |
