What is the standard height for guardrails in industrial buildings?
Thread Content
The heights of the guardrails in our company’s new industrial buildings vary; some are 1.2 meters tall, some are 1.0 meter tall, and there are even those that are less than 1 meter tall. What is the specified height according to the standards? I think it was 1.2 meters, right? Are there any other detailed regulations?
It should be 1. 2 meters; I can’t remember the exact standard, but that’s what I’ve always done
Reply to 2# xdcome: The standard is GB4053.3-2009 Safety requirements for fixed steel ladders and platforms – Part 3: Industrial protective railings and steel platforms. Someone on Haichuan shared it at http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=534272&highlight=%BB%A4%C0%B8
