An existing Hospital building has several 'main' entryways that are through stair towers. There is not anywhere near 10' available in these entryways which are located on landings (maybe 5'x8'). My question is, have you seen walk-off mat being carried on stairs? If we put mat on the stair treads down 5 steps and up 5 steps (so we would have the 10' distance for every travel option), this would work, no?
Has anyone else done this or see any reason this would not work?

I haven't seen this, but I don't see why it wouldn't be accepted. Another options is to use multiple mats to make up the full 10 feet. You mentioned that you have 8 feet on the landing before the stairs begin. If you put a separate 2 foot mat outside the door, and there is some sort of awning or overhang that would protect it from the elements, the combined coverage of the two separate mats would be acceptable.
