PURPOSE: Safety devices for a subway platform are provided to effectively secure passenger's safety getting on off a subway by making an automatic opening and shutting door and a safety footboard linked and operated according to the opening and shutting state of an automatic door and entering state of the subway. CONSTITUTION: Safety devices for a subway platform(2) include fixed fence parts(10) including a transparent material of a square plate shape having vertical length exceeding man's height; automatic opening and shutting parts(20) installed to corresponding positions of automatic doors(1a) of a subway(1) while shutting off standoff spaces of the fixed fence parts; and safety footboard parts sensing the opening operation of automatic doors and the entering state of the subway, and rising in a state parallel to the lower ends of the automatic doors from the ground of the platform. The fixed fence parts are combined and restricted to vertical frames(11) installed vertically and horizontally and successively arranged at regular intervals. The automatic opening and shutting parts are installed near the railroad. The automatic opening and shutting parts sense the opening and shutting operation of the automatic doors of the subway and automatically open and shut more quickly than the automatic doors of the subway. The safety footboard parts sense the shutting operation of the automatic doors of the subway and shut off the standoff intervals between the subway and the platform by descending toward the platform side.
