Crossover stairs and platforms are vital for helping people in commercial and industrial sites cross over different surfaces. These stairs must be OSHA-compliant to ensure everyone’s safety while promoting stability of the stairs. Our experts at REDD Team will help you find OSHA-compliant stairs and platforms that work for you.
What Can You Use Your Crossover Stairs For?
Every business or industrial site could benefit from crossover stairs and platforms. You can use them for many purposes:
- Providing a way to safely and efficiently get people across to different spaces
- Allowing people to walk over sensitive surfaces, including pipes or machinery
- Creating a space where people can observe different actions in a room
- To help people avoid getting in contact with various potential hazards
Strong Stairs Are a Necessity
Your OSHA-compliant stairs must be strong enough to handle various impacts. The stairs should support massive weights of thousands of pounds. The sides should also handle impacts of at least 200 pounds from all sides.
Our professionals at REDD Team can prepare crossover stairs and platforms that meet all OSHA standards. One way how we do this is by using aluminum materials in our stairs. Aluminum does not rust and responds well to various impacts, making it an ideal choice.
Stairs Must Also Be Visible
The design is about helping people see where the stairs are and enabling them to know where the handrails and steps are when walking up and down. You must also ensure your crossover stairs are visible to that people can see them from a distance. OSHA standards require your stairs to be yellow, as yellow is easier for people to spot in multiple light situations. Yellow is also in the middle of the color spectrum’s wavelengths, making it easier for the human eye to spot.
What Can We Do to Customize Your Stairs and Platforms?
All crossover surfaces should have the necessary features to maintain OSHA compliance, including:
- Guardrails that are high enough for use
- Enough clearance for the platform and landing spaces at the ends of the stairs
- 22 inches or more of clearance between the edge of an open door and the edge of your stairs or platform
- Platforms are that identical or less than the width of the stairs
- A yellow finish on a smooth surface makes it easy to view while preventing items from being caught on its body
