Would call this out???

[bhartley (Buck Hartley, CMI)]

Stairs without handrails and balusters. Stairs well 30 inches off the floor, would you say anything about these being a safety hazard?

Thanks! In advance for the input.

Call it out as missing guard rail and move on.

Yes, see that often, but common does not equal safe. :mrgreen:

Call it a fall/trip hazard. Take a picture of it if you have to.
Document it and move on to the next step in the inspection.

I think it does meet code. But it still isn’t safe for children or the elderly.
