Handrails are mostly a neglected topic while executing projects but are very important during operation of any plant as they directly affect safety at workplace. The most common MOC accepted is MS + Painting. In typical Industrial / Coastal environments, MS tends to rust both from the Inside & Outside, thus compromising safety after 2 to 3 years of installation. (See Picture below). Repainting /maintenance of Railing within Operational plant ends up in high costs and invites unwanted conditions like Hot-work permission.
Performance Standards of Handrails: Well OSHA 1910.23, EN 14122-3 ( BS 4592 -3 ) along with ASTM E935 & E985 address most of Design Criteria for Handrails like Configuration, define UDL and Point load Handrail should withstand and how to test designed Handrails.
