Abstract

An adjustable safety bracket for use in roof construction provides a support for a safety barricade to be erected along the edge of the roof. The bracket assembly includes an attachment member which engages the free end of a roof support bracket, such as a roof joist, and a support member which is pivotally connected to the attachment member at an outer end thereof. The attachment member includes a channel portion which engages the free end of the roof support member and further includes a yoke in which the support member is pivotally supported. The support member includes a stop surface aligned with the channel portion such that when installed, the stop surface faces the free end of the roof support member and the free end limits the rotation of the support member within the attachment member.
