1. A safety barrier system comprising:
a plurality of barrier assemblies, each barrier assembly including:
a barrier panel assembly having a rectangular barrier supported by an upper edge binding member, a lower edge binding member, a pair of left stiffeners and a pair of right stiffeners wherein the pair of left stiffeners capture a left edge of the rectangular barrier and the pair of right stiffeners capture a right edge of the rectangular barrier;
a barrier support pole including:
an upper pole end;
a lower pole end opposite the upper pole end, the lower pole end engageable with a ground insert for allowing rotation of the barrier support pole;
opposing first and second retention slots, each of the first and second retention slots extending from the upper pole end to the lower pole end, the first retention slot parallel to the second retention slot;
a top cap for engaging the upper pole end and securing at least one of the pair of left stiffeners or the pair of right stiffeners in one of the first or second retention slot; and
a panel stop engaged with the first and second retention slot along a lower portion of the barrier support pole, the panel stop for supporting the lower edge binding member of the barrier panel assembly; and
at least one gate assembly including:
a gate frame assembly having:
a gate panel assembly, four frame corners, a frame top, a frame bottom and two frame sides; and
two support truss assemblies;
wherein edge bindings are folded allowing the frame top and each frame side to slide onto the gate panel assembly, a frame corner is attached to the frame top and each frame side by inserting mounting screws through corner mounting apertures and fastening into the frame top and frame side mounting apertures and repeated at each corner to complete a gate frame assembly, wherein the gate frame is attached to a left truss assembly by upper and lower hinges and the gate frame is attached to a right truss assembly by a latching mechanism, and wherein each truss assembly is secured to a respective barrier support pole of an adjacent barrier assembly.
