On a staircase with at least three steps, a handrail is required. If the steps exceed a width of 1.5 meters, a handrail must be installed on both sides of the staircase. For a width of at least four meters, an intermediate handrail is mandatory, which is installed in the middle of the staircase.
In short:
A high-contrast design of the staircase and step markings for an accessible staircase.
The easiest way to make stair steps contrastive is by using step markings with the help of noticeable floor stripes. These are inexpensive and can be easily customized to fit any staircase by simple cutting. Retrofitting is therefore quickly feasible.
Important is that:
Adequate lighting conditions are important for an accessible staircase, whether during the day or at night. Lamps should be positioned in a way that no shadows are cast, and both landings and the entry and exit points of the stairs are well illuminated.
Light switches should be placed at a height of 85 cm so that all users can reach them.
An additional measure could be, for example, LED strips for the steps.
