That a set of stairs has shortcomings sometimes becomes
clear only after we've fallen head over heels. (And even then, it may be
hard to figure out exactly what went wrong.) Other times, the
shortcomings are obvious, but we think that if we're really careful, we can
avoid them. Missing handrails,
non-compliant step dimensions, insufficient tread depth, excessive openings
between risers, inadequate lighting--all speckle various public and private stairwells
and all can lead the unsuspecting stair user to injury. That's where ABI steps
in.
