These critically important building elements are connected to a large number of accidents and can present significant barriers to access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to be 'dipped into', the handbook outlines the background legislation, regulations and associated best practice guidance. It explains how good practice can mitigate hazards and improve accessibility. Sections on design issues and technical implementation are supported by illustrations and case studies that demonstrate solutions for different situations. Where particular building types have unique requirements covered by separate guidelines, these are highlighted. A final section considers the operational and maintenance issues that need to be addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcise and clearly explained, \u003ci\u003eStairs, Ramps and Escalators\u003c\/i\u003e brings together a wide range of current research for easy reference.
