- The minimum height of GRP Handrail must be at least 1100mm above the walking surface
- The handrail must include at least one intermediate mid knee rail
- The maximum span between stanchions centre to centre spacing must not exceed 1500 mm
- The maximum clear space between horizontal rails must not exceed 500 mm
