This really didn't work out. The surface of the stairs is so monotonous that the individual stairs can be very easily overlooked! This can easily lead to a fall and injury!

The edges of the stairs must always be clearly distinguishable!

The edges of each stair must be highlighted with yellow and black diagonal stripes. it indicates the danger and clearly visible to the users.

@kalingahhh But this is a modern design. The designer would not allow his creation to be marred by black and yellow diagonal stripes.

But it is certainly possible to emphasize the edge sensitively with regard to the design.

With this same material, construction has been done in my country and I was the safety officer. But unfortunately, several falls happened. finally, as a safety officer, I was asked to appear in courts too. the shop owner was asked to pay panelty.

I'm sorry to hear that. The safety of individuals is a top priority and it's important to make sure that steps and staircases are clearly visible to prevent falls and injuries. If the surface of the stairs is too monotonous, there are various solutions that can be considered to make the individual steps more distinguishable, such as using contrasting colors, non-slip materials, adding stripes or other visual cues, or installing lighting to highlight the edges of each step. It's best to consult with a professional, such as an architect or a contractor, to determine the most appropriate solution for your specific situation.
