Ready for the DDA?
August 1st 2004

By the 1st October 2004, all service providers and owners of buildings with public access are required to make reasonable adjustments to the physical features of their premises and improve access to disabled people.

The aim of the legislation is to achieve equality between the disabled and able-bodied, and it introduces a basic duty not to treat disabled people less favourably than others.

Safetyshop has an extensive range of DDA products that can help organisations achieve compliance with the DDA. Included are braille signage; hearing loop systems; access ramps; toilet alarm systems; and general access signs compliant with BS8501:2002 and safety signs.

The company has increased its range of durable braille signs and labels to suit most premises. Entrances, toilets, stairs and fire exits can be identified easily with the signs, making them suitable for sighted and partially sighted/blind people.

Signs are made from, a tough, non-reflective fire-rated plastic with smooth raised lettering, English braille and pictograms, and have a strong self-adhesive backing for easy fixing. Signs may also be housed in pvc silver anodised and aluminium effect frames.
