Stairs, short-term list

I’ll put one up there, short-term, stairs. Stairs is a tangible safety issue and in fact the code has elements of some of the things that we’ve just described as better practices here for codes and guidelines that it’s easy to put our foot on and say that just needs to be enforced.

Response by Marsha Mazz: I think one of the things we can look at is the stair geometry and talking about is stair identification. Well, the tread and monitor Identification and identification of the stairs.

Response by [Participant]: But then again, stair safety would be legitimate for all of these.

Response by Kurt Knight: I think there’s been a number of presentations that have identified a number of issues and as we go through the presentations there’s a lot of consistency, to be quite honest with you, in some of the ideas presented of these shortterm safety type, easy to do solutions.
