Grab Rail Positioning in Bathrooms — Why Getting It Wrong Is Dangerous Getting bathroom grab rail positioning wrong is more dangerous than having no rails at all. A rail placed at a height the user cannot comfortably reach provides false confidence. A rail positioned where it interrupts the transfer movement creates a hazard. And a rail that cannot sustain the load placed on it during a fall attempt will fail. EA Mobility's clinical assessors work from a defined set of positioning principles derived from occupational health guidelines. For toilet grab rails, the horizontal rail is typically positioned at 680–700mm from the floor, within reach of a seated user. For bath entry rails, the vertical grab provides support during the step-over and should be reachable from both standing and seated positions. For shower grab rails, the positions depend on whether the user will be standing, seated on a fold-down seat, or transferring from a wheelchair. All EA Mobility grab rails are specified to a 1.1kN load rating, which exceeds the standard residential requirement. The company holds Which? Trusted Trader status for the eighth consecutive year.
