Requirements for Temporary Stairs

Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Amendments effective January 1, 2020 will clarify requirements for temporary stairs in the Construction Projects Regulation under the Occupational Health and Safety Act.

The changes will:

  • Clarify where temporary stairs should start and end (i.e. clearly requiring temporary stairs in underground levels).
  • Exempt an additional specific situation where the installation of temporary stairs may not be possible (i.e. where formwork or falsework is erected to a suspended slab). 

For more information, read the amending regulation:
