Has anybody come across any guidance on the maximum pitch of site temporary stairs?
We've got a job with really restricted space in which they want stairs but they are ending up at 60 deg with little left on the going. I know Part K gives guidance for public and resi - but aren't these for permanent stairs??
The irony is, if we are governed by Part K then I might as well forget the stair and put in a ladder. But even a 60 deg stair has got to better than a ladder surely?
