Does any body know of a regulation that prohibit an object being placed going down the stairs such as a cable?

OSHA Regulations about cables/obstacles being placed intentionally going down the stairs or across the steps? This happened in Florida...

The OSHA reg is easy to find:





1910.22(b)(1)





Where mechanical handling equipment is used, sufficient safe clearances shall be allowed for aisles, at loading docks, through doorways and wherever turns or passage must be made. Aisles and passageways shall be kept clear and in good repairs, with no obstruction across or in aisles that could create a hazard.





You may think this section only applies to aisles, but I have seen it applies to stairs.





I have seen cables go down the steps inside a conduit, but if you do that the open part of the stair is still wide enough according to the rules. That is usually the problem.
