Wrought iron adds so much visual appeal to a home that most people forget the care that must be taken to install an iron railing that meets legal safety requirements.  Even the do-it-yourselfer must follow building codes for the area where the railing will be installed.  Contact the building and codes department of the local government prior to designing the railing for a deck or stairway.  A professional wrought iron designer knows the local regulations that must be met when creating and installing a stairway banister or an iron railing for a landing.

Any set of stairs with four or more risers must have a railing that is between thirty-six and thirty-seven inches tall as measured from the riser.  This height has been proven to prevent falls and be graspable to the person who is walking up or down the stairs.  The top of the railing must be no more than 3.5 inches across to allow a strong grasp in the case of an unexpected loss of balance or footing.  The iron railing must be continuous and uninterrupted for the length of the stairway with enough overhanging rail on the last step to allow balance to be regained on the floor above or below.  Special care must be given to construct a safe ending to the railing that will prevent tripping or snagging of clothing.

When a walking surface is more than 30 inches above the ground, a hand railing is required.  An iron railing must be designed for installation along the unprotected edge and sides of the entire walking surface without interruption.  The handrail must have a smooth surface that will prevent punctures or lacerations to the hand that is passed over the rail.  Rail height is to be 37 inches from the walking surface with primary vertical supports less than 19 inches apart.  Secondary supports cannot be more than four inches apart to prevent someone from falling through the railing.  After completed installation, the railing must withstand 200 pounds of weight applied within two inches of the top edge.

There are times when special railing is required for a certain application because of the special nature of the stairway or walking surface.  When a spiral staircase is installed, special care must be given to the height of the iron railing and the graspable surface.  Narrow stair risers make this application especially difficult to address.  Local building inspectors can make recommendations for the non-traditional applications for iron railings.

Whether a professional or the homeowner will complete the project, nothing could be more important than the safety needs of those who will come in contact with the railing.  Talk with an expert and do some research to insure the best possible design and installation of the iron railing.  Remember that the building codes are there to ensure no one is injured on the property for years to come.

In our business we often need to describe our policy and practice regarding quality of service, responsibility towards environment and employees health to our clients. There are three set standards i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 accepted globally.

ISO 9001is the internationally recognised Quality Management Standardfor all types of organisations.  It’s all about managing your processes and continually improving the way you do things.  It doesn’t require you to change any of your operating procedures or do anything that isn’t good practice. It simply asks you to “Say what you do, and do what you say”.

ISO 9001 is by far the world’s most established quality framework, currently being used by over ¾ million organizations in 161 countries, and sets the standard not only for quality management systems, but management systems in general.

Having ISO 9001 certification demonstrates that your organisation is well managed, knows where it is going and has a plan to get there. Also, having a plan means you are far more likely to succeed.

Certification to the ISO 14001 Standarddemonstrates your ‘Green’ credentials to the world at large and your customers in particular. It gives them the confidence to know that behind the certificate there is an organisation that is aware of its environmental responsibilities and is doing everything it can to minimise any adverse impact.

ISO 14001 standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to:

implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system assure itself of its conformance with its own stated environmental policy (those policy commitments of course must be made) demonstrate conformance ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations seek certification of its environmental management system by an external third party organization make a self-determination of conformance

OHSAS18001 sets out the requirementsfor an Occupational Health & safety Management system that enables organisations to control physical, work related risk, protect employees’ health and improve business performance.  It requires the creation of a relevant Management System and has been developed to promote best practice in this field.

Obtaining OHSAS 18001 demonstrates that you have:

 

procedures for risk assessment, risk control and hazard identification structured health and safety training and required competences emergency procedures and response mechanisms formal communication channels for disseminating health and safety information performance measures and improvement plans

 

Achieving ISO compliance and certification can take significant amounts of time but should prove valuable for companies interested in successful global networking and high levels of customer satisfaction.

Equas SmartPro Ltd  have helped hundreds of organisations from both the public and private sectors to achieve ISO and OHSAS certification, as well as to effectively manage their ongoing compliance.
