Handrail Installation (Steel Construction)

Installation of handrails, balustrades and edge barriers to stairs, landings, mezzanines and exposed edges, including measuring, drilling, fixing and finishing.

Objective

Complete the work safely by controlling falls more than 2 metres at the exposed edges being protected, services strike when drilling and coring, and manual handling through edge protection or fall arrest, service location and mechanical aids.

This is the Steel Construction version. The hazards and controls are written around steel construction work, so it differs from the other 2 trade versions of Handrail Installation. Compare all 3.
