9.8.8.3. — Height of Guards

(2) All guards within dwelling units shall be not less than 900 mm high.

(3) Exterior guards serving not more than one dwelling unit shall be not less than 900 mm high where the walking surface served by the guard is not more than 1 800 mm above the finished ground level.

(4) Guards for flights of steps, except in required exit stairs, shall be not less than 900 mm high.

(5) The height of guards for flights of steps shall be measured vertically from from the top of the guard to a line drawn through the leading edge of the treads served by the guard.

Editor's note

O. Reg. 503/09 cl. 138 amends Sentence (5) by striking out 'a line' and substituting 'from the top of the guard to a line'. Applied to the prior text ('... measured vertically from a line drawn through ...'), the amendment as filed produces a repeated 'from' ('... measured vertically from from the top of the guard to a line ...'). The e-Laws consolidation editorially renders this as a single 'from'; no part of the amendment directs that change. This map reflects the amendment as filed.
