In the 07 version, section 7.3.2 (5) says to provide hose connections "at the highest landing of stairways with stairway access to a roof, and on roofs with a slope of less than 3 in 12 where stairways do not access the roof." There is a proposed change to this section, but the change wouldn't help me.
I assume 'stairway access' means the stair must extend to the roof level and a person could walk-out onto the roof via a standard door. But, could it also mean a ship's ladder leading up to a roof hatch? Do the building codes define "stairway access"?
