OSHA regulations are slightly different for fixed stairways in industrial settings. In industrial applications, OSHA puts the minimum rise at 6 1/2 inches and the maximum at 9 1/2 inches, but ties the rise to the angle of the stairs. For instance, it sets the rise for stairs on a 35-degree angle at 7 1/4 inches. For stairs on a 45-degree angle, the rise is set at 8 3/4 inches.
