Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Does the exception to the 9.5-inch riser height and 9.5-inch tread depth requirements for stairs installed before January 17, 2017 (§1910.25(c)(5)), also apply to stairs designed and fabricated, but not yet installed, by that date?

Answer:

Stairs with design drawings issued for construction or that were in fabrication before January 17, 2017, but not installed, will be in compliance if they met the previous requirements for standard stairs.
