Hi,

Does anyone know if there are OSHA requirements for the minimum
clearance between a starway railing and the wall it is attached to?
There are no local requirements in my area, and the only OSHA
requirement I can find refers to a 3" clearance for a temporary stair
railing. I need to install a railing in a fairly narrow stairway, and
I would really like to make the clearance narrower if I can get away
with it.


For residences, used to be the grip width was 1-1/4" minimum to 2" maximum and the maximum
it could project from the wall was 3-1/2"
