What makes a stairway safe? (UKSRG Guide) Quantum Flooring Accessories works with UK Slip Resistance Group (UKSRG) to make stairs safer<\/p>\n

Many accidents occur on stairs \u2013 there are ways to reduce the risk and make stairs safe<\/p>\n

The UKSRG is an independent organisation representing companies with an interest in floor safety, in particular the slip resistance of surfaces on which people walk. As such the group was aware that one major area where \u2018slips\u2019 occur was on stairs and accordingly commissioned a small working party of members to produce a document which would contain cohesive guidelines for anyone who has a vested interest in making a stairway a safer place.<\/p>\n

In partnership with the UK Slip Resistance Group (UKSRG), Quantum Flooring Accessories has been involved with the compilation of a document which is intended as \u2018a one stop shop\u2019 for information on features which can help make a stairway a safer place. The objective is for the document to be of value to anyone involved in the design, specification, construction, installation, fitting or maintenance of a stairway \u2013 giving impartial and independent advice on the elements of a stairway that need attention for safety purposes, and where relevant it indicates the areas where regulatory guidelines need to be met.<\/p>\n

The outcome is the document \u201cWhat Makes Stairs Safe?\u201d<\/p>\n

It identifies 5 key features of a stair that need in depth consideration when stair safety is the goal \u2013 and it became apparent that it was not just the slip resistance of a tread surface which is important.<\/p>\n

Step Dimensions \u2013 Stair Nosings \u2013 Handrails \u2013 Lighting \u2013 Maintenance<\/p>\n

All play a critical part, and this UKSRG document is structured such that the main aspects of these features are identified clearly. For full details of any one element a comprehensive \u2018Further Reading\u2019 reference list is included, which gives detailed and independent back-up to the guidelines in the document.<\/p>\n
