Hi
I have received complaints from our service engineers regarding the height of the step now required to gain access to our works vans. On risk assessing them they are definitely higher than the previous ones and they are now required to step up and down more due to them being more a mobile workshop. My question is does anybody know of any particular height mentioned in any standards, CE's etc.? Thanks

Why not engage with those engineers to devise a practical solution, e.g. fold-down steps?
See (e.g.) stayco, avssteps, etc.

Also talk to the purchasers and suppliers of vans etc. to try to stop such problems at the design stage [if that is possible] noting that manufactures do not [in my experience] take into account easily the fact that users of their kit have to work at height
