    Q1. Steps and stairs
    1. It is recommended that lighting levels increase to 150–200 lux over stairs and
    that the transition should be smooth.
    2. It is recommended that an additional central handrail is provided on stairways
    wider than 4000 mm.
    3. Handrails should have a slip-resistant matt fnish to reduce glare and increase
    their visibility. Shiny metal handrails should be avoided, because the refections
    they cause can mislead visually impaired people.
    4. Escalators shall be in accordance with BS EN 115: Safety of escalators and
    moving walks. Construction and installation.
    5. The steps of escalators should have a nosing that contrasts visually with the
    tread and riser.
    6. The recommended angle of inclination for escalators is 30 to 35 degrees.
    7. Emergency stop buttons should be clearly marked. It is important that people
    with limited dexterity can use them.

    Q2 ramps
    Ramps can have one of the following
    configurations:
    (a) Straight run. (b) 90 turn. (c) Switch back or 180 turn.
    Width
    Width varies according to use, configuration and slope.
    The minimum width should be 0.90 m. Slope
    The maximum recommended slope of ramps
    is 1:20. Steeper slopes may be allowed in special cases depending on the length to be
    covered
    Landings
    • Ramps should be provided with landings for resting, maneuvering and avoiding
    excessive speed. Landings should be provided every 10.00 m, at every change of
    direction and at the top and bottom of every ramp. The landing should have a
    minimum length of 1.20 m and a minimum width equal to that of the ramp
    Handrail
    • A protective handrail at least 0.40 m high must be placed along the full length of
    ramps. For ramps more than 3.00 m wide, an intermediate handrail could be installed.
    • The distance between handrails when both sides are used for gripping should be
    between 0.90 m and 1.40 m.
