Everything in your industrial OSHA stairs has to ensure the safety of everyone in your workplace. Your stairs will be critical for helping people access many things inside your building, whether it’s a generator, HVAC system, or any other device that requires regular access. Your stairs can also provide safe passageways over various obstacles or hazards. REDD Team can help you design and prepare industrial OSHA stairs that meet all OSHA guidelines while making your workplace more efficient.
Safe Guards
The guards around the OSHA stairs should be high enough to protect everyone. The general guideline is to have a guardrail at least 42 inches high from the ground. Handrail guards should also be about 34 inches in height from the ground. These height standards should be consistent throughout the entire stair body.
Enough Width For People
The stairs should also be wide enough for people to go through without creating excess congestion. The stairs should be at least 22 inches wide between the vertical barriers. REDD Team can produce new stairs that are wide enough, although you can request something wider if you expect to have many more people use your stairs. You might require an intermediate handrail in the middle, depending on the width of the stairs.
Safe Step Heights
The number of steps for your OSHA stairs will vary depending on how high you need the stairs to go. But the steps themselves should be a manageable height. The risers should be about 6 to 7.5 inches each, allowing enough room to go up and down without risking anything being too hard to go over.
The steps should also be about 12 inches deep, enough for an average foot to fit on. These surfaces can also include grooves and other gripping features to help create a steady grip that keeps a user from slipping up or down the steps. Proper usage is necessary, and having the right design will ensure the protection of everyone involved with the steps.
Secure Welding and Installation
Your OSHA stairs should be appropriately welded and sized to where everything fits and can be installed in your space without risking anything coming apart or becoming weak. REDD Team can help you by measuring each part based on your demands and constructing everything with sturdy aluminum materials.
Aluminum is an ideal metal for your stairs because it features a safe body that will not wear or weaken, plus it can handle intense amounts of weight and pressure from all angles. Aluminum is also lightweight, so you can get it delivered to your property and installed soon.
This simple point provides a great approach to getting your steps ready that you can trust. The installation process is easy because we manufacture all items for your steps here in the United States and deliver them to your location. The instructions for installing your steps will also be easy to handle, as we will provide all the necessary items to your location.
