Default Code for requirment of handrails

I need section ref in IBC 2003 that explains the need for handrails to stairs in excess of certain height. I am having a big brain cramp and can't find it.

All help would be great.

Thanks
Jeff

A good illustration of the code requirements: click here

Whenever I cite a handrail, guardrail, etc. issue, I give them a link to this document on my website.
