Interestingly, those concrete steps are no longer in use, a metal catwalk is now mounted above them along with safety line and travellers making it very similar to a lift climb, and as such a harness and helmet are now required. There are only three travellers on the line so if guests were ever to go down (or up) one at a time would be the maximum with a ratio of two staff to one guest. (Not that more travellers can't be added)
Procedure before going down is to lock off at the panel, as well as accessing through the interlock gate that is just through the black perimeter gate to the left of the smiler shop, keeping both keys on your person, no risk of having to dodge shuttles.
Edit to add that the grime in the tunnel in places is now more of an ankle deep sludge
