Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / Informe sobre prevención de riesgos laborales
English term or phrase: exceed the landing
El término aparece en un manual de prevención de riesgos laborales de un yacimiento de petróleo. Aparece en un formulario utilizado para calificar las medidas de seguridad adoptadas en el emplazamiento. En concreto, en este apartado se evalúa la disposición de las escaleras y los andamios. En mi opinión, aunque no tengo más contexto, creo que hace referencia a la disposición de las escaleras. La frase en cuestión es la siguiente:

"Proper angle and exceed the landing 3ft".

El documento no ofrece más contexto. Supongo que hace referencia a que las escaleras tienen el ángulo de inclinación adecuado y que los peldaños sobresalen, con respecto al punto de apoyo vertical, 3ft, pero no acabo de entenderlo. También es posible que se refiera a la anchura del descansillo, pero tampoco tengo del todo clara esta opción.

Gracias y un saludo.

Description taken from Wikipedia

Landing or Platform
A landing is the area of a floor near the top or bottom step of a stair. An intermediate landing is a small platform that is built as part of the stair between main floor levels and is typically used to allow stairs to change directions, or to allow the user a rest. A half landing is where a 180° change in direction is made, and a quarter landing is where a 90° change in direction is made (on an intermediate landing).[2] As intermediate landings consume floor space they can be expensive to build. However, changing the direction of the stairs allows stairs to fit where they would not otherwise, or provides privacy to the upper level as visitors downstairs cannot simply look up the stairs to the upper level due to the change in direction.

Muchas gracias por tu ayuda, María. La verdad es que no tenía más contexto. Era una frase aislada en un formulario, sin referencias a otras partes del texto. No obstante, creo que tu idea era acertada. Un saludo.
