| Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirements stated in Clauses (1)(b) and (c), which would otherwise require 2 handrails, in situations where
the risk of falling is reduced because occupants are likely to be familiar
with their surroundings and the risk of injury due to falls is reduced because
the vertical fall distance is limited. |
