Under 29 CFR 1926.1052(c)(6), what height range applies to a construction stairway handrail that is not also the top of the stairrail system?
Correct Answer
A) 30 in. to 37 in.
29 CFR 1926.1052(c)(6) specifies 30–37 inches, measured from the handrail’s upper surface to the tread at its forward riser line. A stairrail top also serving as a handrail has the separate 36–37 inch condition in (c)(7); neither range is a universal building-code handrail rule.
