Abtract A seismic restraint system for suspended ceilings has longitudinal ceiling perimeter restraint members each having a longitudinal web, a longitudinal bottom flange extending orthogonally from the web, integrally formed fixed connection apertures and floating connection slots orthogonally orientated with respect to the web. In use a pair of ceiling perimeter restraint members are installed horizontally at opposite sides of a suspended ceiling which has a grid of intersecting structural rails. Each ceiling perimeter restraint member is installed with the web attached to a respective adjacent structure with the bottom flange thereof extending away therefrom and with respective ends of the structural rails resting thereatop. Each structural rail running longitudinally between the ceiling perimeter restraint members is fixed in place at one end using at least one of the fixed connection apertures and slidably affixed at an opposite end using at least one of the floating connection slots.
