9.8.8.1.(3)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of inadequate fall protection on interior stairs or ramps where the risk of injury from a fall is greater due to the elevation of the stair or ramp above the finished floor surface, which could lead to:

• persons falling, or
• persons falling in an emergency, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
