OSHA requires 7'-0" head clearance..
I have been informed by another engineer that IBC rerquires 7'-6" min clearance with some exceptions...
does anyone happen to know what section in IBC 2006 that this requirement is in..
this project is a non-public, industrial maintenence platform....
thanks for your help and input...
 
Ceiling height is 7'-6" and is in 1003.2. Door height is 80 inches and is in 1008.1.1.
 
IBC - 1003 requires 7'-6" for ceilings.
Section 1005 requires 6'-8" for stairs
Section 1010.5.2 requires 6'-8" for egress ramps.

 
thanks guys for the info, really helpful
