Handrail (register)

See also: Handrail

A handrail is, in France, a newspaper where are consigned the whole of the events of the life of a association, of a police station, a unit of Municipal police, etc

Operation

Formerly, and still today in small structures, the handrail was a physical register where the facts and makings of contact of the public with a administration were consigned, an association (of listening and assistance to the public for example), or a first-aid organization. A Employed or a Fonctionnaire was in responsibility of hold the up to date register, generally it acted of a person in direct contact with the public, with the reception and/or the standard.

Currently, a handrail can also be a Logiciel business computing of Database (DBMS) which consigns to the manner of the register paper the events entered by the employees of the structure, from any station. All the authorized employees can register an entry with the handrail, and all can consult it in real-time, which largely improves the transparency and the information flow.

The presence of a handrail is obligatory in all establishment receiving from the public (ERP) like in all the real great height (IGH).

It is an official document which can be required by the legal organizations in order to analyze facts knowing that any event must be notified there.

It is strictly interdict to modify or to even erase an inscription in handrail under penalty of making it null and void, this is why the pages of a handrail paper are always numbered.

Today, thanks to its computerization, it becomes a tool of analysis quality or of description of security issues (Pompier S) or of safety (ill will).

Legal significance by extension

In France, “to make a statement of handrail”, it is to make consign facts by a sworn in government official when one does not wish to deposit Plainte. It is a simple consigned declaration:

  • is with the police station: the reported facts are consigned on a register of handrail held by the police services,
  • is with the brigade of gendarmerie: the reported facts are the subject of an official report of legal information.

The number of recording of the handrail can constitute a beginning of proof in a later procedure.

The advantage of the handrail on the lodge of a complaint, is to officially mention facts without however launching procedure, which can prove to be useful if one initially wishes to constitute a beam of evidence before starting a procedure or launching continuations.

The disadvantage of the handrail is that it never gathers that the assertions of a person and does not have any legal value.

Thus, to make consign inaccurate facts, even false, in a handrail does not involve any sanction for the person who does it.
