<p>Based on several reference works, we would suggest in order to make a staircase accessible.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s recommended that the staircase would include the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adequate width ( 85 to 90 cm)</li>
<li>Treads at the same height (18.5 cm max.) and steps the same depth( min.22cm, max.28 cm)</li>
<li>A limited number of foot steps ( 12 to 17 per flights)</li>
<li>Treads with bullnose</li>
