Why Use OSHA Compliant Loading Dock Stairs?
OSHA compliant Dock Steps meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration safety guidelines. These steps are ideal for restricted loading dock zones, accessible only to authorized personnel. Key benefits of choosing an OSHA compliant stair system include:
- Safety: Ensures worker protection by minimizing risks of falls and injuries through design features like proper tread depth and handrails
- Legal Compliance: Helps businesses avoid legal penalties and fines by adhering to federal and state safety regulations
- Operational Efficiency: Safe stairs allow for smoother and faster operations, leading to improved productivity
- Employee Morale: A safe working environment boosts employee satisfaction and engagement
- Affordable: OSHA stairs use fewer materials than IBC standards demand, resulting in lower costs
Why Use IBC Compliant Loading Dock Stairs?
IBC compliant Dock Steps align with International Building Code standards, and are the preferred option for providing access to loading docks where public pedestrian traffic is anticipated. Here are several key reasons to choose an IBC compliant stair system:
- Public Access: IBC standards ensure stairs in public spaces meet high safety and accessibility standards, distinguishing it from OSHA codes
- Safety: Ensures stairs minimize accidents with specific requirements for tread depth, riser heights, balusters, handrail design, and landings
- Accessibility: The staircase is overall easier to climb for the average person, including those with disabilities
- Liability Reduction: Helps meet local building codes, reducing legal risks and potential fines
- Areas of Refuge: Supports requirements for emergency safe spaces, enhancing safety for all occupants
