Mich. Admin. Code R. 400.18645 - Inside stairways
Rule 645.
(1) An
inside stairway that forms an approved means of egress shall have suitable
handrails on each side.
(2) An
inside stairway that forms an approved means of egress shall be not less than
36 inches wide in the clear. Handrails attached to walls may project not more
than 3 1/2 inches at each side into the required width of a stairway.
(3) A stairway that forms an approved means
of egress shall have treads that are not less than 8 inches wide, exclusive of
the nosing, and risers that are not more than 8 1/2 inches in height. Treads
and risers shall be of uniform width and height in each individual
stairway.
(4) An inside stairway
which forms a means of egress which consists of 2 or more steps, and which, in
changing direction, does so by benefit of the variance in the width along each

of uniform width throughout that changes directions by benefit of intermediate
landings or platforms.
