History of Handrail
| Element | Description | Element Code | Essential | Uniclass 2015 | Updates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Handrail | A rail which can be held by a person for support and to prevent slips, trips and falls, for example on a staircase or walkway. The rail may be fixed to a wall or supported on posts. Where supported on posts, a handrail is distinct from a balustrade because it only provides limited edge protection, for example, a young child could easily pass under/through a handrail, whereas a balustrade would prevent falls over an edge. | HAN | No | Ss_25_60_05_35 | 31-08-2021 |
