Abstract

Variation in step dimensions in a stairway can decrease step predictability and increase users’ fall risk. We discuss past stairway dimension irregularities, current stairway design codes, and how visual contrast enhancements may improve stairway safety by drawing stair users’ attention to the steps.

期刊介绍： Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications is intended to serve the needs of practicing human factors/ergonomics professionals who are concerned with the usability of products, systems, tools, and environments. It provides up-to-date demonstrations of the importance of HF/E principles in design and implementation. Articles, case studies, anecdotes, debates, and interviews focus on the way in which HF/E research and methods are applied in the design, development, prototyping, test and evaluation, training, and manufacturing processes of a product or system.
