Title: Plan drawings & staircases
Post by: SidM on March 11, 2008, 02:26:56 PM

I have huge problems interpreting whether a staircase is going up or down on a plan drawing and whether there is a landing or handrail.  Does anybody have basic information on this that I can use to help me?  Also, does anybody have a tabulated form of the different rules that apply in relation to protecting staircases according to how many many you have and how many floors you have in a building.

SidM I am afraid it is not double the help its double the confusion and complicates the situation.  Go back to the other thread and continue the discussion there.
