Application. This section covers all stairways (including standard, spiral, ship, and alternating tread-type stairs), except for stairs serving floating roof tanks, stairs on scaffolds, stairs designed into machines or equipment, and stairs on self-propelled motorized equipment.”
However, there is no definition as to what stairs designed into machines or equipment is. How do you differentiate from stairways used to access equipment and stairs designed into equipment?
Definition of Stairway and Standard stairs provided for reference below.
