1.á Stairway Choice
Given a choice, always locate the lift on the widest
and least busy stairway. In some cases, a building
may have an extra stairway or one with egress width beyond
requirements for the building occupancy. In the case of
alterations, a small stairway can often be widened to
maintain the required egress width.
Also consider the full accessible
route.á Is the stairway
near to an accessible entrance?
Does this stairway provide access
to all the levels in the building requiring access?
