Tiling steps

[PJ Tiling]

Ok chaps and chapettes i've been to look at a job today 25 sqm uncalibrated slate in opus pattern in the kitchen and utility room. Fairly straight forward, however there are 2 sets of steps in the utility room. I've never had to do any steps in opus before, any advice, do's don't etc?

IMHO steps should be identifiable from the main floor design so as not to cause a trip hazard.
Put an edging/strip of the slate tile to show a change in the level.
Use something to highlight (subtle) the steps.
You can still follow the Opus design through - just allow the brain to notice the steps.
Of course it may not be acceptable to your customer so ask them to check their home owners insurance!
