Abstract
A safety enclosure for a platform comprises a support frame having a laterally extending inner portion, a laterally extending outer portion and a pair of transversely extending side portions defined at laterally opposing ends of the support frame. A handrail system extends laterally along the outer portion and transversely along the pair of side portions of the support frame. A floor portion extends laterally and transversely across the support frame and comprises at least one access panel. The access panel comprises a fixed end portion that is pivotally coupled to the support frame, and an opposing free end portion. A damper is coupled to the support frame and to the access panel so as to control a closure velocity of the access panel as it pivots from an open position to a closed position.
