A health and safety handle embodied as a multi-purpose rail-gripping device comprises a main handle member ergonomically shaped to be grasped by a user/rider, a rail-gripping arm connected to a first end of the handle, and a holder that is movable relative to the main handle member between a stowed position and a deployed position to hold an object while the main handle member is being grasped. The rail-gripping arm has a gripper to grip a grab rail, pole or bar in a public transit vehicle such as a bus, train, subway, streetcar) to stabilize the rider while isolating the rider's hands from contaminants or health hazards potentially present on the rail/pole/bar. The handle may also include a hook for suspending objects (e.g. backpack, bag, umbrella, etc.). The handle may include magnetic and/or mechanical retention elements for retaining one or multiple other objects/accessories, e.g. beverage container, smartphone or other items.
