Requirements for Industrial Catwalk
Requirements for Industrial Catwalk
(OP)
I may be posting this in the wrong forum but I figured Structural engineers would be the ones to go to for this topic.
I am looking at installing some industrial catwalks for access to raised equipment. Could somebody tell me the width requirement (for ontario)? Does the width requirement change as the height of the catwalk increases? Also, what is the height requirement for the railings?
If anyone could answer these questions and if there is anything else I need to know that would be great!

Again for the US, handrails need to be 3'-6" above the walking surface with a mid-height rail (1'-9"). If this is an egress walkway there are additional requirements for the railing, ie a third rail.
