From October 2004, Part III of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) will come into force, its regulations regarding site signage, access and mobility applying to all service providers.
Since 15 per cent (8.5 million) of the UK population is covered by the Act, including up to 2 million blind and partially sighted people, for large sites and those with a high level of public access – and therefore increased liability – an expert audit of the required signage would seem a good point at which to begin to assess a company’s liability.
Focal Signs & Labels of Mitcham provides experienced advice on site signage projects for large sites and busy public service buildings.
Signs & Labels of Stockport supplies a wide range of DDA compliant signage – manufactured in a matt finish to avoid reflections and with a wear resistant surface to maintain a clear impression – plus ancilliary products, either on-line or from the free 530-page Safetyshop catalogue.
