Below the handrail of a staircase is some kind of gridwork to prevent people or objects from falling off the staircase into the space below. What is the term for this gridwork? - perhaps "handrail grating"?

If the handrail is not mounted on wall then it must be mounted on a guardrail with 42 inch height and no opening which would allow any ball greater then or equal to 4 inch pass through.

This is LA code.

The first and last are called newel posts and the intermediate ones are called spindles.

But whether these names apply to materials other than wood is a different question.
