Abstract
A temporary stair tread for use in a pan stir comprises a stair tread body, a first biasing member and a second biasing member. The stair tread body has an upper portion, a lower portion, and first and second longitudinal edges. The first biasing member extends outwardly from the first longitudinal edge and is resiliently deformable. The second biasing member extends outwardly from the second longitudinal edge and is resiliently deformable. The temporary stair tread is installable in a pan stair tread recess with the first biasing member resiliently deformed by contact with a first side of the pan stair tread recess and the second biasing member resiliently deformed by contact with a second side of the pan stair recess to generate a retention force securing the temporary stair tread in place.
