Handrails on the Breakwater
 |
|
Handrail design: The post and cable design of the handrails preserves views for people in wheelchairs as well as for those standing. |
The Greater Victoria Harbour Authority (GVHA) will install handrails on the breakwater at Ogden Point over the next few months to satisfy concerns expressed by their insurers for public safety.
"If we didn't install handrails, we could have been forced to close the breakwater to the public," said Curtis Grad, GVHA President and CEO. "The new handrails are also designed to meet the Canada Labour Code which requires fall protection for workers maintaining the breakwater," he said.
