Question

Does the term "stairs" include any "landings" in the structure?

Answer 1

I'm no lawyer but without a landing some staircases are not safely usable and not safe. it's a common sense thing use your own judgment.  

Answer 2

I don't know how you are asking that question ,in the construction field it is " a flight " or "run of stairs" separated by landings or floors.Common useage seems to include landings and floors, ie. "take the stairs" no matter what floor you are on. Legally I (guess) would include the landings since they are part of the staircase system.
