Are steps needed for this pit toilet?

Decision Process


• Is maintenance access to a waste processing area below the riser needed? Is digging a pit into the ground impractical?
  
  
  • If no to both questions, provide ground-level entrance.
    
    
  • If yes to either question, have all options for a ground-level entrance been exhausted?
    
    
    • If no, look at the site again. Is excavation, placement of the building on a slope, or addition of fill material at the entrance feasible to allow a ground-level entrance?
      
      
    • If yes, as an absolute last resort, provide steps in accordance with FSORAG section 6.6.9.
