Abstract: A railing system (1) for an offshore installation (2) is disclosed. The railing system (1) comprises two or more balusters (3) including connection means (4) for connecting the balusters (3) to the offshore installation (2) and at least one rail (11) comprising two or more longitudinal rail sides (5), wherein at least one of the two or more longitudinal rail sides (5) is a T-slot side (6) comprising at least one T-slot (7). The railing system (1) also comprises at least two fixation devices (8) arranged to connect the at least one rail (11) to the two or more balusters (3) so that the T-slot side (6) of the rail (11) is forced against a first side (9) of the balusters (3), wherein each of the at least two fixation devices (8) comprises bolt means (10) including a pin part (12) and a head part (13), wherein the head part (13) is arranged at one end of the pin part (12), wherein the head part (13) is arranged in the at least one T-slot (7) and the pin part (12) is extending through an orifice (14) in the baluster (3), wherein the fixation device (8) further comprise a collar (15) encircling the pin part (12) on a second side (17) of the balusters (3), wherein the first side (9) is opposite the second side (17), wherein the collar (15) is connected to the pin part (12) by means of a compression joint (18), and wherein the two or more balusters (3), the at least one rail (11) and the at least two fixation devices (8) are made of aluminium. A method for assembling a railing system (1) on an offshore installation (2) and use of a railing system (1) is also disclosed.
