Abstract: A handrail assembly for a work machine is provided. The handrail assembly comprises at least one generally horizontal rail member and a plurality of generally vertical tubular support members (4). Each support member (4) has a first end attached to the at least one rail member, and a second end which is open. A plurality of support plates (10) each have a first portion adapted to be attached to the work machine and a second portion adapted to be attached to the second end of one of the tubular support members (4). A plurality of attachment means attach the second end of each support member (4) to a respective support plate (10). The assembly further comprises a plurality of first elastomeric damping elements (106), where a first elastomeric damping element is sandwiched longitudinally between each support member second end and its respective support plate (10).
