Posted By Gary75 Wondering if anyone can direct me to any guidance ? We have within our Depot a 'wash-down' gantry thats used as access when washing down HGV's etc etc. Ive been tasked with co-ordinationg the design and installing of a replacement steel staircase (to access the gantry). Ive trawled through mountains of websites, including the HSE's but cant seem to find any documentation relating the dimension/angles/overlaps of the respective treads and risers. Help !!!! gary.hall30@btinternet.com
