Q: I have a silo with a
wraparound fixed staircase. The staircase has proper railings. The
question is, if I have a locking gate on the entrance to the staircase and
signage posted so only authorized personnel can enter, is this compliant?
A: OSHA does not have a specific
standard on this. This is more of a liability issue, but with the locking
gate and signage it shows you are taking the proper measures to keep
unauthorized people out.
