Disclosed herein is a side safety device for an escalator which is operated in such a way that a plurality of stairs circulates. The side safety device includes a side safety plate (100) which is coupled to each of side surfaces of each of the stairs (2) at a position adjacent to a vertical plate (2b) of the stair. The side safety plate has a triangular shape and protrudes forwards from the vertical plate. The side safety plate includes a bottom side (104) which extends parallel to a step board (2a) of the stair in a direction away from the stair, and a hypotenuse (106) which extends at a predetermined inclination so as to meet the bottom side. The inclination of the hypotenuse is substantially equal to an inclination of an inclined section of the escalator. |
