Intent
Intent 1: 
At significant changes in elevation between adjacent surfaces, to limit the probability:
  • that doors will unintentionally open to their full width, which could lead to inadequate fall protection, or
  • that doors will open greater than 100 mm, which could lead to inadequate fall protection for small children.
This is to limit the probability of persons falling, which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 2: 
To expand the application of Subsection 9.8.8. to include guards for doors.
