Improve work place accessibility for the disabled

Diversity of the work place has become the edge in the competitive era. And diversity can be along the lines of ethnicity, race, religion, language, age, gender, sexual orientation and disability. With none’s emotions to hurt, people with certain disability often get overlooked. This is a fact. The employers may often consider the person with disability non capable. This is not just out of discrimination but often the employers assume that the person may not be able to cope with the existing staff in the office, he may not be able to match the pace with other employees or the office may not be able to provide the specialized facility that might be a necessity for the individual. And there is another fact in that. Under this discriminating attitude many times the skilled and competent workers are missed. But there is need to change this mindset and with little alternation made in the structure and some facilities offered to the individuals with specific needs, the whole thing can get to the right tunes.

And when it comes to the infrastructure of the building the, the design and the construction is to comply with the DDA standards. Here the disability consultantcan be of great help to you. These are the professionals who can guide with the construction and infrastructural alteration that make it more convenient for the disabled to access. Basically the DDA act is a written document that just gives the appraisal of certain regulations and implications if followed can make the entire place really accessible to the disabled. The audit evaluation will begin from the Car Parking and then lead to Entrances, Reception, Corridors, Vertical Circulation, Toilets and Meeting Rooms etc.

The audit consultant identifies the barriers and instructs the users in removing them. The access statement is not just about the wheel chairs but I considers some wider perspectives as well like height of a toilet seat, gradient of a ramp, width of a door, color of a handrail etc. Since in the parliamentary DDA law nothing is mentioned to the core specification and due to this very reasons several associates have emerged offering the DDA certification. But when are really considering making the place convenient for the disabled, a reputed disability consultant would be required for assistance. The audit statement is prepared evaluating each and every aspect of the building design. Right from the gateway to the toilets each and every thing is evaluated and prepared. Not just the physical structure the access audit works with changing psychology of the co workers. Sometime out of no reason the co workers may pass on a comment over the disability. That can sometimes hurt someone and there is need to change personal attitude. And the audit consultants can provide equality training in that context. They help the individual develop a cohort familiarity with the individuals so that they can work as team.
