Spanish term or phrase: escaleras de boca
From a set of guidelines for working at heights for a Mexican company:

"Están considerados como trabajos en alturas los que se realizan en techos y terrazas, estructuras que se arman tales como pasarelas, andamios fijos, rodantes o colgantes, silletas, caballetes, escaleras de una o dos hojas, escaleras marinas, **escaleras de boca**..."

I haven't been able to find anything on "escaleras de boca". Any ideas?

Thanks!
