						Fifty percent of the occupant load in the first adjacent story above and the
						first adjacent story below, when a story below exits through the level under

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
						Scope. This Section contains specifications for the safe design and
						construction of fixed general industrial stairs. This classification includes
						interior and exterior stairs around machinery, tanks, and other equipment, and
						stairs leading to or from floors, platforms, or pits. This Section does not
						apply to stairs used for required exit purposes, to construction operations, to
						private residences, or to articulated stairs, such as may be installed on
						floating roof tanks or on dock facilities, the angle of which changes with the
						rise and fall of the base support. (Title 24, Part 2, Section
						2-3326(a).)
(b) Where Fixed Stairs Are Required.
(1) Fixed stairs shall be provided for access
						from one structure level to another where operations necessitate regular travel
						between levels, and for access to operating platforms at any equipment which
						requires attention routinely during operations. Fixed stairs shall also be
						provided where access to elevations is daily or at each shift for such purposes
						as gauging, inspection, regular maintenance, etc., where such work may expose
						employees to acids, caustic, gases, or other harmful substances, or for which
						purposes the carrying of tools or equipment by hand is normally required. (It
						is not the intent of this Section to preclude the use of fixed ladders for
						access to elevated tanks, towers and similar structures, overhead traveling
						cranes, etc., where the use of fixed ladders is common practice.)
(2) Spiral stairways shall not be permitted
						except for special limited usage and secondary access situations where it is
						not practical to provide a conventional stairway.
(3) Winding stairways may be installed on
						tanks and similar round structures where the diameter of the structure is not
						less than 5 feet.
(Title 24, Part 2, Section
						  2-3326(b).)
(4) Alternating tread stairs, meeting the
						requirements of 3234(i) shall be permitted for:
(A) Limited usage.
(B) Secondary
						access.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) General.
(1) This section shall apply to every exit
						door. Buildings or structures used for human occupancy shall have at least one
						approved exit door. (Title 24, Part 2, Section
						2-3303(a).)
(2) Exit doors shall be of the side swinging
						type.
EXCEPTION: As provided in Section
						  3235(g).
(Title 24, Part 2, Section
						  2-3303(a).)
(3) Every door required to serve as an exit
						shall be designed and constructed so that the way of exit travel is obvious and
						direct. Windows which could be mistaken for doors shall be made inaccessible to
						occupants by means of barriers or railings.
