Non-Compliant Stairways

priority_high Why it matters

Industrial and egress stairs must meet §1910.25: stair rails on open sides, handrails within a defined height band, uniform riser/tread geometry, and adequate strength. Worn nosings, missing handrails and inconsistent risers are common — and they're a frequent injury point as well as a citation.

event_repeat How often it's checked

OSHA cites stair deficiencies on inspection. Exterior and structural stairs are also reviewed on Milestone and county recertifications, where corroded stringers and loose handrails are documented for repair on the recurring 10-year cycle.

construction How we fix it (with La Gala Construction)
