Information On Making Your Premises Accessible To The Disabled
Do you run a business that necessitates employees or the general public coming to your workplace ? If you do, then you are legally bound to prevent your workplace from discriminating against those who have a disability. Not only is it the law, you may also be fined if your business is not deemed to be “disabled friendly”. So, if your workplace is not designed to accommodate those with a disability, you are taking a big risk, that soon or later you will have to pay the price for.
It is always good to make your customers or clients feel welcome within your business. Putting aside the fact you are legally bounded to accommodate disabled people, doing so shows that you care about the wider community. Also, remember that those who are disabled are looking to spend their money as well. If someone is disabled or is with someone who is disabled, they would be disinclined to deal with you if you make it difficult for them to so.
Wheel chairs are probably the prime concern that will come to mind when you consider the disabled. If there are stairs leading to the entrance of your building, the obvious choice at first would be to install a ramp. Those who are use to handling a wheel chair will have no issues on modular ramps, multi-fold ramps, or even solid ramps. There can also be a need for both external and internal ramps when it comes to multilevel areas or particularly high areas to cross. It all depends on how your workplace is designed.
There is also the option of a vertical platform lift. These clever devices are automated lifts that will safely raise or lower the wheel chair to the appropriate level with no work required. They are much nicer looking than the basic ramp alternative and not to mention there is little upkeep involved. These lifts are perfect when a stair case is incredibly steep or very short. They can even be put to use for those who are not necessarily disabled, but have something else they need to get up the stairs that would be difficult otherwise.
Not everything involved with making your business disabled accessible has to do with stairs. There are many other facets that you may need hand that will require you to consult with a disability assessor. This is a specialist who is qualified to handle the job of making a business disabled friendly. The changes involved can range from lowered work surfaces, Braille signs, variable height desks, to disabled friendly toilets.
