Is anyone familiar with required handrail heights for theater catwalks? I imagine it is different than regular handrails/ guardrails because only trained professionals will be using them. Is it dictated by OSHA? Thanks for any help you can offer!
 
I would consider 2015 IBC Section 1015.4, Exception 3: At elevated walking surfaces for access to and use of electrical, mechanical or plumbing system or equipment, guards shall not have openings that allow passage of a sphere 21" in diameter. I would consider the curtains and lighting as "equiptment".
