A safety railing (10) for installation about a roof edge. There is a vertical stanchion (20) which extends above the roof edge and a lower end which extends downwardly along the outer wall of the building (12). A middle portion of the stanchion (20) is pivotably mounted to the wall of the building (12), so that in response to a laterally directed impact at its upper end, the stanchion member pivots relative to the wall and at least a portion of the force is transmitted into the wall through the pivot connection (16). |
