Secure Stair Solutions: Meeting OSHA Guidelines

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) plays a big role in defining safety standards for workplace environments. Among these regulations is the stipulation that businesses of specific sizes must install OSHA-compliant stairs to ensure safe access for employees, guests, and other building users.

Adhering to these standards not only promotes the well-being of all individuals on your premises but also shields your business from potential legal exposures. Implementing these safety measures is integral to maintaining a secure and compliant operation.

The OSHA Standards

In the United States, every new facility being constructed is mandated to meet the OSHA stair safety standards. Some key requirements include:

  • Uniform Step Dimensions: All steps on a stairway must have uniform riser heights and tread depths between 30 and 50 degrees of slope. This uniformity helps prevent missteps and falls, making navigation safer for everyone using the stairs.
  • Stair Railings and Guardrails: Stairs with four or more risers or rising more than 30 inches, whichever is less, must have at least one handrail. Properly installed railings prevent falls by providing stability and support, reducing the risk of accidents significantly.
  • Slip-resistant Surfaces: Stair treads must be slip-resistant and capable of supporting the expected load. This requirement ensures that stairs are safe to use under various conditions, reducing slips and falls, especially in high-traffic areas or adverse weather conditions.
