The process encompasses the construction of a safety railing system, typically alongside a staircase or elevated platform. It provides a supportive structure for individuals ascending or descending, and acts as a barrier to prevent falls. The construction commonly involves vertical posts (balusters) supporting a horizontal rail, securely fastened to the steps or platform.
A well-constructed railing significantly enhances safety and accessibility within a building. It allows for safer movement between levels, particularly for the elderly or those with mobility limitations. Historically, railings have evolved from simple, functional structures to elaborate architectural features, contributing to both safety and aesthetic appeal.
