Dear Allyn:
This letter is in response to your Violation /Correction Notice dated 5 -17 -91
item 5, ILHR 51.162. I discussed this condition as shown on our Detail 3/5
with Duane Peterson, the DILHR Plan Examiner for the project. ILHR 51.161,
which addresses hand rails for stairways as apposed to guard rails for
platforms, states that "the handrail height shall be not less than 30" not
more than 34" above the nosing of the treads or stairways ". If in fact this
projection opening has been installed exactly as detailed, the bottom of the
opening would be 30" above the highest nosing, therefore would not require
any further guarding at the stair run.
The drawing indicates a small portion of the opening extending over the
landing. This, of course, would require the 42" high guarding required by
ILHR 51.162. Because the area is so minimal, Duane Peterson felt it did not
represent a hazard and would be willing to accept the condition as shown
without further guarding.
If you feel that it should be guarded we will install guarding above the
landing to comply with ILHR 51.162.
I believe that all of the other items on your notice have been corrected or
are in the process of being corrected. I will also look more carefully at
the condition of this opening at the site to make sure that the conditions
in the field are as shown on the drawing.
Sincerely,
Donald R. Holt
