R311.8.3.1

Section R311.8.3.1 is titled 'Height' and covers requirements for ramps. The requirement for handrails on the sides of ramps to be within a range of dimensions above the ramp is established. The purpose of this section is to mandate that when ramps are installed that they are constructed to reduce the risk of trip, fall, entanglement, and bump hazards as well as to provide an efficient pathway between different levels.

The model shows a ramp with a highlighted handrail installed and the height measurement which must be within a range of dimensions notated.
