How to Choose Correct Stairway System
1. Determine which standards are required for your application - The compliance standards are typically derived from either OSHA or IBC (Elevate can assist in determining what you need). 2. Determine the top of deck (TOD) height(s) which the stairways need to reach. 3. Determine the step width of the stairs (standard is 36"). 4. Determine how operators will enter and exit the stairs at each level (left/right/rear). 5. Determine transition to existing structures (stairway mount and transition directly to structure, or stairway platforms are required). ***Elevate's staff of engineers can assist in determining any of these variables.
