In your listing of codes for open riser stairs you do not reference mini stringer stairs. To avoid having to install nosing the code requires the depth of the tread to be no less than 11 inches.

Above we illustrate stairs constructed with no tread nose projection - a common design in areas where stairs are often built of tile and masonry. Item #874724 Model #SC50SLVF603 Click to Show or Hide Citations & References, OSHA estimates that there are 24,882 injuries and as many as 36 fatalities per year due to falls from stairways and ladders used in construction. permitted. A taller riser changes the possible point of contact, and in the sketch virtually all of the data points appear to miss a typical projecting stair tread nose for a 5/4" thick stair tread or less. 3/4" to max. When ascending stairs and in some cases when descending stairs, the stair user naturally places their foot and their weight at the leading edge of each step - the tread edge or tread nose. If a building inspector observes damaged stair treads the stairs should be marked as unsafe and access restricted until a proper repair can be made. When you encounter a stair such as this one it is reasonable to presume that the builder probably made multiple construction and safety errors, leading to a suggestion that the entire structure should be examined with great care. Stair Landings to The riser height shall be measured vertically between the leading edges of adjacent treads. and with no lip either in its junction with the rest of the tread or underneath it. [27] "The Dimensions of Stairs", J. M. Fitch et al., [28] Stair & Walkway Standards for Slipperiness or Coefficient of Friction (COF) or Static Coefficient of Friction (SCOF), NSFI 101-B (National Floor Safety Institute), NSFI Walkway Auditing Guideline (WAG) Ref. Pauls, J. and Barkow, B. Can anyone explain why this is so when such a lip can so easily catch a toe of someone climbing a stair? Journal of safety research 16, no. Commercial Stair Riser Height The code specifies that risers should not be more than 7 inches in height and not less than 4 inches when measured vertically between the nosing of the adjacent tread. If the tread nosing was already broken away that condition can still contribute to a fall, though more from the problem of the inconsistency of the tread nose edge - causing an angling of the foot and a possible slip, rather than causing a fall due to the suddenness of collapse of a breaking-away piece of the stair tread or landing supporting a person's weight. It is common for manufactured treads and nosings to achieve coefficient of friction levels on the order of … Note: Templer uses ânosingâ with two different meanings, Do your stair tread nosing meet these codes? It means Treads stair nosings are aesthetically pleasing and solve the unsightly problem of missing plugs.

There must be a floor or landing at the top and bottom of each stairway and on each side of each exterior door. projection be 17.5 mm. Nagata, H. (1985). The Standard and codes do not quantify slip resistance, but the ADA does recommend a coefficient of friction level of .60 or above for walkways and .80 for ramps. Roys M S and Wright M S. (2003). 134-138. Stair tread depths shall be 11 inches (279 mm) minimum. But research also concludes that while there are certainly trip hazards associated with projecting stair tread nosings, when designed within proper limits the stair tread nose probably improves stair safety. Balek, Marietta, Pauls, Riazi, and also Cohen specifically discuss stair tread nose designs. Stair landing minimum size in direction of travel (<= 36″). Stair tread depths shall be 11 inches (279 mm) minimum. Keep in mind that for an elderly or disabled person, living in a home with no stairs at all and with careful attention to remove trip hazards such as thresholds, wires, loose rugs, are all important changes. Experimental determination of stair dimensions required I (D Friedman not Pauls) suggest that in assessing stair tread nose designs we must distinguish between falls when ascending a stair vs. falls when descending the stair. . What does AS1428.1 say about stair treads and stair nosings? The greatest stair tread nosing projection shall not exceed the smallest nosing projection by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) between two stories, including the nosing at the level of floors and landings. If the risers are solid, the nosing must project between 0.75 and 1.25 inches, and must be uniform between two stories, with variations of less than 0.375 inches. InspectAPedia tolerates no conflicts of interest. Press, Cambridge, MA. Pauls explains that this figure illustrates the analysis of the positions (and possible impact or catch or trip hazard points) of the heel of a foot as it pivots off of a home stair tread of varying tread widths (the "run" measurement for different tread nose projections. http://stairs4u.com/stairbuildingcodes.htm Click on this link for more stair building codes.

Measuring at a different part of the stair tread than the nosing or at a different part of the handrail than the top will give you an inaccurate measurement and might result in a code violation. studies suggest that nosings greater than about [19 mm] manufactured to facilitate retrofitting existing steep stairsâwithout tearing out the current th. The greatest [stair tread] nosing projection shall not exceed the smallest nosing projection by more than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) between two stories, including the nosing at the level of floors and landings. Reader Question: 5/22/2014 Ian McIlvaine said: My father-in-law has tripped several times on his stairs and blamed the protruding nosing. Beveling on noses must be less than 0.5 inches. If that stair tread edge or nose is sloped, uneven, slippery, damaged, or worse, breaks during use, a fall is likely.

A stair tread with a sharp rectangular edge may be prone to breakaway falls, especially in wood stair tread designs, while a stair tread with a too-sloped leading edge may contribute to slipping falls on stairways. Liberty Mutual Research Institute for Safety, USA, 15-19. Proc. narrow treads rather than large nosing overhangs, but there is Beveling of [stair tread] nosing shall not exceed 1 / 2 inch (12.7 mm).
