When Do You Install A Guardrail or Handrail When Building Stairs? - Builders Education And Safety

[@davekanak]

At 0:06 you state a grippable handrail on one side of the stairway for any stairs with (more than four risers), but the code says (four or more risers)?

[@stairbuilding]

It's confusing, but if you check with your local building department, they should be able to provide codes for your area.

Good job 👍

what is the height of the guard

[@alihussein1386]

42 in the min

[@hooperleblanc7246]

can a guard be the hand rail? Or do you need both?

[@stairbuilding]

Yes if the building codes allow in your area allow it.

If the house im renting doesnt have hand rails and i think it should, does the landlord need to fix it?
