Temporary and unfinished stairs cause many falls.
Key points
- Use handrails.
- Keep stairs clear of material and debris.
- Watch for uneven or missing treads.
- Light stairways.
- Don't carry loads that block your view.
Ask the crew
- Are any stairs missing rails today?
- What is stored on the stairs?
General safety awareness. Follow your company's procedures, the site plan and the manufacturer's instructions.
