This report recounts an analysis of stair-related accidents based on mail surveys, telephone interviews, and personal site visits that produced information on 253 residences in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Based on the analysis of the resultant information, the authors provide guidelines for improving stair safety. The research examined the relationship between accident events and three items: physical characteristics of stairways, the surrounding environment, and the behaviour of the stair user.
