A railway platform safety guard member 40 has a bar 41, arranged to extend upwardly from adjacent an edge of a railway platform; support means 31, for connecting one or more barrier elements (fig.4,28); and a clamping mechanism 42, secured to the bar for temporarily attaching the member to the platform. The member may be made from a non-conductive material such as glass reinforced plastic. The support means may have at least one panel slot 46, and at least one rail bracket 30; panels and rails may extend between a number of safety guard members, forming a barrier at the platform edge. The mechanism may have a base 43, with a hole 47 for the bar and a flange 16 connected to a retaining mechanism. The retaining mechanism may have a U-shaped profile formed from a downward arm 44 and return member 45. The return member may slide on the arm, secured using a pin 51 in one of a series of openings 52. A threaded retaining member 21 engages a threaded return member bore, rotated using a handle 23 to secure a plate 22 against the underside of the platform.
