    This document outlines Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards for stairways under 29 CFR 1910 Subpart D. It specifies requirements for handrails, overhead clearances, uniform tread heights and depths, landing sizes, and structural strength. The standards apply to standard stairs, spiral stairs, ship stairs, and alternating tread stairs. Requirements include minimum tread widths and depths, maximum riser heights, uniform dimensions, and angle specifications depending on the stair type. Diagrams illustrate compliant stair, landing, and handrail configurations.

    The standard covers requirements for different types of stairs including standard, spiral, ship, and alternating tread stairs to ensure safety when using them.

    The different types of stairs covered are standard, spiral, ship, and alternating tread stairs. Spiral, ship or alternating tread stairs can only be used if it is not feasible to use standard stairs.

    Standard stairs must be installed between 30 to 50 degrees from horizontal, have a maximum riser height of 9.5 inches, minimum tread depth of 9.5 inches, and minimum width of 22 inches between barriers.

    1910.25(a)
    Application. This section covers all stairways (including standard, spiral, ship, and alternating tread-
    type stairs), except for stairs serving floating roof tanks, stairs on scaffolds, stairs designed into
    machines or equipment, and stairs on self-propelled motorized equipment.

    1910.25(b)
    General requirements. The employer must ensure:

    1910.25(b)(1)
    Handrails, stair rail systems, and guardrail systems are provided in accordance with § 1910.28;

    Ttg Handrails, stair rail systems, and guardrail systems dibahas pada osha 1910.28

    1910.25(b)(2)
    Vertical clearance above any stair tread to any overhead obstruction is at least 6 feet, 8 inches (203
    cm), as measured from the leading edge of the tread. Spiral stairs must meet the vertical clearance
    requirements in paragraph (d)(3) of this section.

    1910.25(b)(3)
    Stairs have uniform riser heights and tread depths between landings;

    1910.25(b)(4)
    Stairway landings and platforms are at least the width of the stair and at least 30 inches (76 cm) in
    depth, as measured in the direction of travel;

    1910.25(b)(5)
    When a door or a gate opens directly on a stairway, a platform is provided, and the swing of the door
    or gate does not reduce the platform's effective usable depth to:

    1910.25(b)(5)(i)
    Less than 20 inches (51 cm) for platforms installed before January 17, 2017; and

    1910.25(b)(5)(ii)
    Less than 22 inches (56 cm) for platforms installed on or after January 17, 2017 (see Figure D-7 of
    this section);

    1910.25(b)(6)
    Each stair can support at least five times the normal anticipated live load, but never less than a
    concentrated load of 1,000 pounds (454 kg) applied at any point;

    1910.25(b)(7)
    Standard stairs are used to provide access from one walking-working surface to another when
    operations necessitate regular and routine travel between levels, including access to operating
    platforms for equipment. Winding stairways may be used on tanks and similar round structures when
    the diameter of the tank or structure is at least 5 feet (1.5 m).

    1910.25(b)(8)
    Spiral, ship, or alternating tread-type stairs are used only when the employer can demonstrate that it
    is not feasible to provide standard stairs.

    1910.25(b)(9)
    When paragraph (b)(8) of this section allows the use of spiral, ship, or alternating tread-type stairs,
    they are installed, used, and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
    Figure D-7 -- Door or Gate Opening on Stairway.

    1910.25(c)
    Standard stairs. In addition to paragraph (b) of this section, the employer must ensure standard stairs:

    1910.25(c)(1)
    Are installed at angles between 30 to 50 degrees from the horizontal;

    1910.25(c)(2)
    Have a maximum riser height of 9.5 inches (24 cm);

    1910.25(c)(3)
    Have a minimum tread depth of 9.5 inches (24 cm); and

    1910.25(c)(4)
    Have a minimum width of 22 inches (56 cm) between vertical barriers (see Figure D-8 of this section).

    1910.25(c)(5)
    Exception to paragraphs (c)(2) and (3) of this section. The requirements of paragraphs (c)(2) and (3)
    do not apply to standard stairs installed prior to January 17, 2017. OSHA will deem those stairs in
    compliance if they meet the dimension requirements specified in Table D-1 of this section or they use
    a combination that achieves the angle requirements of paragraph (c)(1) of this section.
