Metalwork for Healthcare Buildings
Stairs, handrails, balustrades, plant screens and secondary steel for hospitals and care settings.
Rules that apply
During design and construction, hospitals and care homes that are at least 18 metres high or have at least 7 storeys are treated as higher-risk buildings. That means Gateway 2 approval from the Building Safety Regulator before work starts.
Healthcare stairs and routes need handrails that meet Approved Document M, and guarding designed to Approved Document K and BS 6180.
