RailSafe Stringer Post (w/Anti Luce)
The RailSafe Stringer Post is a component of the RailSafe Barrier System – a temporary and reusable barrier system designed to help prevent falls from height.
The RailSafe Stringer Post is used as an intermediate post on the staircase to enable a temporary barrier or handrail to be installed. The RailSafe Stringer Post is constructed from 30mm2 square steel tube, with 2 steel prongs projecting from the bottom, each with 2 fixing points which enables the post to be screw fixed to the staircase stringer board. Anti-luce fittings for attaching the telescopic handrails to the post are situated at the top and mid height positions, on one face of the post.
For further information on installation of the RailSafe System see our installation guide available from your Ockwells account manager or branch.
RailSafe System – Overview
The RailSafe system is primarily comprised of a range of metal posts and telescopic metal handrails. The system also includes a Ladder Gate which creates a safe ladder access point, as well as components which allow the telescopic metal handrails to be fixed directly to newel posts – such as in a kite winder staircase application.
RailSafe - Components
The RailSafe System is configured from the items in the component list below and can be combined into numerous configurations to suit a number of applications.
- RailSafe Safety Post Standard (w/Anti Luce)
- RailSafe Safety Post Corner (w/Anti Luce)
- RailSafe Stringer Post (w/Anti Luce)
- RailSafe Safety Double Cleat (w/Anti Luce)
- RailSafe Telescopic Handrail C/w Fixing Plates (200 - 365mm)

RailSafe – Testing
The RailSafe standard and corner posts, 3x telescopic handrails 425 – 2500mm, and the safety gate have undergone testing and passed to the following standard:
- Assessed by calculation, and by physical testing by an independent testing house, against the requirements of BS EN 13374:2013 (Class A).
- Certified by an independent structural engineer that these RailSafe components when used as a system, meet the requirements of the above standard.
- This is applicable when fixed into 22mm flooring grade chipboard using all fixing holes.
- This is also applicable when fixed into a concrete floor slab using all fixing holes – for additional information on fixing to concrete floors see installation guide available from your Ockwells account manager or branch.
- When fixing to other substrates the end user is responsible for the adequacy of the fixings.
Note: Stringer post, Double Cleat and Telescopic Handrail C/w Fixing Plates (200 - 365mm) have not been tested to the above standard, testing currently underway.
RailSafe – In conjunction with Ockwells Stairwell Hatch System
When appropriate, RailSafe can be used in conjunction with the Ockwells Stairwell Hatch System to form a safe reusable safety system for securing open stairwells, whilst still allowing for controlled access for personnel and materials.
