Abstract

Dispositif (10), tel qu'un garde-corps, conçu pour être utilisé sur un bâtiment pendant sa construction. Ce garde-corps (10) comprend une pluralité d'éléments de support (13) conçus chacun pour être fixés à un bâtiment en construction. Chaque élément de cette pluralité d'éléments (13) possède des extrémités libres placées sous le niveau du plancher en cours de construction du bâtiment, et au moins un élément (30) de garde-corps est conçu pour être accouplé aux extrémités libres des éléments de support (13), ce qui constitue une barrière sensiblement horizontale. Les éléments de support (13) peuvent loger à l'intérieur d'une console fixée à la construction. On peut adapter d'autres éléments parallèles (30) de garde-corps. Ces éléments (30) peuvent présenter une fente allongée (31) servant à recevoir des boulons à bride (32) fixés aux éléments de support (13). On peut loger des panneaux (36) dans des fentes allongées (35) des éléments (30) de garde-corps.
