In a 2-story building, code states :
3002.4a General Stretcher Requirements -
Exceptions:
4. Elevator(s) in two-story buildings or structures equipped with stairs of a configuration that will accommodate the carrying of the gurney or stretcher as permitted by the local jurisdictional authority.
Anybody know what stair width accommodating a stretcher would typically be? As we are in early stages we want to get a rough number until we can get the local city to weigh in. From what I understand, the minimum 44" should be enough?
The wild card, however, is that it is a Senior Recreation center.
Thank you in advance.
