NATIONAL Construction Code (NCC)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Table 3A applications and values have been determined by the Australian Building Codes Board for use in regulations based on the NCC. It provides the minimum wet pendulum test or oil-wet inclining platform test classifications that are deemed-to\u00ad satisfy specific applications in buildings covered by the NCC. These values may be used as acceptance criteria in a range of situations, including those where the building incorporates only the minimum regulated NCC requirements for handrails, lighting and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designing stairs and ramps, in addition to the particular requirements for slip resistance in the NCC designers should consider the following:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • A cross-slope in floors at the top or bottom of flights of stairs could increase the risk of tripping or slipping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Trip hazards may be created inadvertently by nosings and thresholds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Where practicable, stair treads should have slip resistance at least equal to or greater than that of the floor at the top or bottom of the stairs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The surface of stair treads should be of uniform material.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The geometry of stair rises and goings of stairs must comply with the NCC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Provision of handrails must be consistent with the requirements of the NCC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Verification of compliance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
