Is there specific language that prevents the location of an electrical panel along a set of steps?

Wording either addressing level working space or other?

Code sections please.

Thanks in avance
 
2008 NEC Location of clear spaces . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 110.26(B), 230.70(A) and 240.24(D), (E) & (F)
 
If they can comply with the working clearance and dedicated space requirements, I don't know that it's prohibited.
 
What about 2008 NEC (and 2010 CEC), Art. 240.24(F)? NOT LOCATED OVER STEPS. Overcurrent devices shall not be located over steps of a stairway.

It doesn't say, "over a landing", just, "over steps"
