Abstract
Fifty-one female clerical employees tried out handrail diameters of four diameters, and were asked for their preference and sense of felt safety. A diameter between 1.75 and 2.00 inches was preferred; the 2.00 inch diameter was felt most safe. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
