(a) A hand rail fixed at between 1 meters and 1.2 meters above ground level, which should be reasonably smooth and rigid for pedestrians at hold to obtain guidance and some measure of support.
(b) A visibility panel at least 150 mm deep which may be integral with handrail or separator must be fixed s that its upper edge is minimum of 0.90 meters above ground level.
(c) Visibility panels of yellow, white , or orange colors are best for detection by partially slighted people, while the red and white rail give a good contrast and provides inter changeability with traffic barriers
Deep Excavations
if excavations are deeper than 1.20 meters , stronger barriers will be required.
