Continuous handrails should be provided on both sides of all ______?

  1. stairs and ramps

  2. stairways and stepladders

  3. slides and ramps

  4. elevators and escalators

The correct answer is: stairways and stepladders

Continuous handrails are essential for safety and are an important accessibility feature for individuals with limited mobility. Stairs and ramps are typically used for vertical circulation and will require handrails on both sides to provide adequate support and prevent falls. Slides are not intended for climbing or people with disabilities, and thus do not require handrails. While elevators and escalators are also used for vertical circulation, the moving parts of these systems do not necessitate handrails like the stationary elements of stairs and ramps do. Therefore, the correct option is stairways and stepladders.
