A modular safety barrier for protecting workmen at elevated levels on a building from falling over an unprotected live edge includes a flooring cassette (10) and a barrier (30) consisting of vertical posts (32) and transversely extending horizontal upper and lower handrails (60, 64) spanning between the multiple posts at about waist/chest height and at about foot/knee height. The advantage of the modular barrier is the barrier (30) can be attached to the flooring cassette (10) at ground level and the combined barrier and cassette hoisted into position at the elevated level as a single combined integral. A coupling is disclosed (figs 10-11) for connecting rails (60 or 64) to one another or to the posts including a swivel coupling comprising two interconnected releasably securable rings in which the tubes are received, the two rings being movably or pivotally interconnected to each other. 5/10 0N c co%\ \ ( vio= /7 (0 ---
