No handrail. They don't meet code in the USA.

I also imagine simply having a handrail on the side walls would do a lot to make them seem safer. And everyone would be gripping that handrail tightly as they use these stairs.

Edit: If that was my house, there would be a dirty smudge at hand level as every single person using these steps holds the palm of their hands against the bare wall.
