A walkway system for roof, truss or elevated workers or the like is attached to a structure, e.g. a building wall of an unfinished building. The system utilizes first and second longitudinally spaced-apart support assemblies for releasable attachment to a top of a building wall. Each assembly presents a depending support bar extending along an exterior surface of a building wall. A horizontal support brace is attached to each depending support bar at selectable positions therealong, the horizontal support brace providing support for overlying boards of a walkway. Attached to the free end of the horizontal support brace is a vertical post having a plurality of vertically spaced-apart brackets thereon for receiving a portion of a plurality of vertically spaced-apart hand rails therein. A series of hook-like brackets are releasably placed along the rails for positioning a reinforcing strut adjacent each hand rail. The walkway can be vertically offset from the top of the building wall as well as laterally extended therefrom. The walkway with reinforced hand rails is effective in presenting a barrier to preclude workers from falling onto the ground.
