A safety bar which provides protection, the bar having a generally trapezoidal, open cross-sectional shape. The cross-sectional configuration of the bar includes a central flange which is embraced by two webs each of which has a side-flange which extends outwardly on a respective side of the bar.

In the intermediate section, the central flange has generally a decreasing width and the webs a generally decreasing height towards the bar end.
