This handbook, first published in 1954 and regularly updated, gives guidance on the design and general construction of factory stairways, ladders, access platforms, ramps and handrails. It includes information on regulations and standards, basic design and design methodology. EEMUA 105 is intended for use by engineers, architects and those responsible for specifying access installations. Access equipment manufacturers and their subcontractors will also find the guidance useful. The new eighth edition has been updated to include all current standards and regulatory requirements.
