To meet health and safety standards in today’s society, disabled access needs to be taken into serious consideration by business owners across the UK.
Businesses – whether big or small – have to ensure that they cater for their customers, clients and staff to ensure that all their needs and requirements are met when it comes to disabled equipment and access in and out of a building.
With this in mind, Rollaramp.co.uk are in full support of helping businesses comply with UK laws and also help businesses attract disabled customers to their company by making it more welcoming and comfortable for them to enter and browse around.
Before you start the process of improving your access for the disabled, it is a good idea to oversee the rules and regulations of your local area to ensure that the modifications you wish to make will comply within the law. Local councils will be more than happy to answer any of your queries offering you information about disabled access and what you need to do next.
A good idea would be to speak to disabled customers about the improvements you could make in order to make their experience more comfortable, because at the end of the day they are using it and they know what is best.
Wheelchair access is one of the first things people consider when it comes to disabled facilities and equipment. Wheelchair access is highly important because without it you restrict customers from entering your store and you in the long run potentially lose business. Make sure that you leave store aisles and doorways wide, and eliminate hazards which may be a struggle for a wheelchair to move around. If you are a store make sure you consider how you shelve and display your products, or if you are a cafe/pub/bar make sure that there is room for them to move, turn around and manoeuvre through the room. Keeping things within reach and posting prominent signage indicating that staff are happy to help, will make wheelchair users feel more comfortable and welcome in your business.
‘Grab bars’ in your business are also a great way to improve your access for the disabled as are slope ramps rather than stairs. By installing a ramp you allow wheelchair users access into your building with comfort and ease.
If you are seriously considering installing wheelchair ramps into your business then you should look at Rollaramp.co.uk for all your ramp needs. The Disability Access Industry are in full agreement that there is no better system for flexibility and adaptability when it comes to wheelchair access and scooter access than the Roll a Ramp. While most retail ramps are static, Roll a Ramp can be shortened or lengthened to fit different disability applications.
