What is the maximum allowable distance between posts for standard railing guards?

The maximum allowable distance between posts for standard railing guards is 2 meters. This regulation helps to ensure the safety and stability of the railing system, particularly in environments where falls could pose a significant risk. By limiting the distance between posts to 2 meters, the railing can effectively support the weight and prevent accidental falls, providing an essential safety barrier in mining operations and similar settings. This distance strikes a balance between structural integrity and practicality, allowing for effective barrier installation without compromising safety measures.
