to describe a set of stairs. A set of stairs is a series of steps that

Stairway Safety Tips
If you're planning on walking up or down a set of stairs, make sure that
you're cautious, paying attention and holding on to the handrailing. I
know that sounds simple, but it's hard to imagine how many accidents
happen each year, because someone slipped and fell down, a perfectly
safe stairway.
If you're going to carry things up the stairs and avoid holding onto the
handrailing, you will need to be extra attentive and pay attention to
each step you take.
For example, let's say you're carrying four packages, talking on your
cell phone, while walking up a set of stairs while it's raining and
you're wearing dress shoes. (Shoes with smooth bottoms and no traction)
This might be a worst-case scenario, but if you stood outside of a
building while it was raining, I can only imagine how many people you
would find doing at least two or more of these things while walking up
the stairs.
The ultimate stairway safety tip is to use caution, pay attention to
what you're doing and always have at least one hand on the gripable
handrailing.
