Holding On To Safety: Creative Rail Solutions with Code in Mind

Sponsored By Livers Bronze

Presented By Lee Kirby

1 ADA Accessibility / Barrier-Free Req.
1 AIA HSW/LU CE Hour(s)

Handrails and guardrails are a safety feature that we easily take for granted as a common fixture in environments where stairs and balconies are featured, aiding us in our coming and going.

Learning Objectives:

Determine the specific conditions that mandate the installation of ADA-compliant handrails for various environments, including stairways and ramps, to ensure compliance with accessibility regulations.
Clearly outline the required dimensions, such as height, width, and clearance, for ADA-compliant handrails and explain how these measurements contribute to creating accessible and user-friendly spaces.
Analyze key railing specifications, including material selection, gripping surfaces, and installation standards, while reviewing how these aspects align with broader ADA code requirements.
Assess the specific requirements for railings on ADA-compliant ramps and stairs, focusing on details like slope, landing, and handrail continuity to ensure structures meet accessibility standards.
