Differences Between IBC and OSHA Stair Codes
IBC
Horizontal Run
IBC Stairs have a horizontal run that is approximately 1.5 times the deck height, not including landings or handrail extenders, so a 10’ high mezzanine deck would have an approximate 15’long stairwell.
Risers & Tread
IBC Stairs typically have a 7” closed riser and an 11” tread.
Stair Width
IBC Stairs are minimum 36” wide in most cases.
Railings and Guardrail
IBC Stairs require rails of 42” high and handrails of 34” high on both sides of the stairwell.
Landings
IBC also requires an intermediate landing on stairwells for stairwells over 12’ high, as well as handrail extensions at the bottom landing.
OSHA
Horizontal Run
With OSHA Stairs the horizontal run and the length of the stairwell, is approximately equal to the height of the deck. For instance if the mezzanine deck height is 10’, the stairwell is 10’ long.
Risers & Tread
OSHA Stairs typically have an 8” closed riser and an 9” tread.
Stair Width
OSHA Stairs are minimum 22” wide.
Railings and Guardrail Collapse
OSHA requires railings on open sides of stairwells and a handrail on at least on side, preferably the right side descending at 34” high.
Landings
Both OSHA and IBC require landings at the top and bottom of the stairs. IBC landings are larger, typically 4’ square.
