The official PDF includes (e.g., Annex A – determination of stair angle; Annex B – guardrail design loads) that are missing from scanned or ripped versions.
| Mistake | Consequence | Solution | |---------|-------------|----------| | Using open risers on stepladders | Foot or tool slips through, causing fall | Use closed (solid) risers for angles >45° | | Inconsistent step height (even 10 mm variation) | Tripping hazard | Use a jig or CNC fabrication | | Forgetting toe plates on guardrails | Objects fall on workers below | Add 100 mm min. toe plate | | Handrail not continuous | Loss of balance at landing | Extend handrail across landing | | Slip resistance too low (R9 on oily steps) | Slips in wet conditions | Use R12 or R13 surface (chequer plate or grit strip) |
Treads must withstand a concentrated load of 1.5 kN distributed over a mm square without excessive bending.
Even experienced engineers overlook these details. Cross-check your design against these frequent errors:
The standard applies directly to fixed access systems that form an integral part of a stationary machine. This includes adjustable elements like slidable or foldable access systems that require tools to be uninstalled.
If you want, I can:
Both sides of the stair require handrails. The open side of the landing requires a full guardrail (top rail at 1100 mm, intermediate rail, toe plate 100 mm).
