Site and sidewalk
- Free of obstacles to allow access
- Flat (minimal level changes for for people who use mobility devices better mobility and ensure flat and such as wheelchairs and crutches. uniform surfaces with surface water drainage in place) - Accessible (if entrances are placed at locations where the floor level is close to the ground, accessibility would be easier and less expensive to achieve; plans could just be rotated or flipped to bring entrances closer to grade, avoiding the need to provide stairs or ramp), and cleared from rubble and debris.
Pathways
- Free of steps and stairs
- Wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair - Free of obstacles such as projecting building elements - If sidewalks are provided, they should have curb ramps - Identified so that people know where to find the route
- Accessible and cleared from
obstacles - Ground is firm (compacted material, concrete), non-slippery, without obstacle for the wheel, the foot or the cane - Should be 120cm wide in order for a wheelchair to circulate - If an obstacle cannot be avoided, width can be reduced to a minimum of 90cm on a short distance. - Protrusion hazards (overhead hazards) above the path are located at a height of 2.20m above the ground - Small steps or ground level changes must be avoided. If not, rounded edges and chamfer are applied
- Wheel guard prevents the
wheelchair from tripping over and serves as a guide for blind users. Entrance
- Must be at ground level or be
equipped with a ramp or easy slope - Should be clear of obstacles (1000 mm wide) - Should be easy and intuitive to locate for everyone, including for persons with a vision or cognitive disability - Connected to an accessible roadway - Have a clear path that has a smooth surface - Have curb ramps where sidewalks exist
- Possibility to install a ramp
- For blind users or persons with low vision, stairs are not an obstacle. Stairs must equipped with handrails, colour contrasting warning band (yellow paint) on step nosing, and step height of 15cm and step depth 30cm.
- Openings are at least 80 cm wide,
in order for a wheelchair to pass through (width of 90cm is more comfortable for wheelchair users and reduces hands injuries). - Entrances have contrasting color to make it easier for persons with visual impairment to identify them (the color of the doors should contrast with the wall. If the color of the door is not contrasting with wall, door frames can be painted with a contrasting color (i.e. yellow) Doors
- Easy to open with minimal
resistance - Wide enough (800 mm) with space adjacent to the door to enable people who use wheelchairs to pull or push the door open - With latch or handle that is easy to operate
- Accessible and easy to open and
close or people with disability - Door thresholds are < 1.2cm - Door handles are located at a height of 90cm above the ground and should either be D-lever or vertical handles (easy to grab), a horizontal grab at a height of 80cm above the ground can be added to
- With space beside the door to
the doors in order to facilitate the enable people to easily pull or push closing) the door open - Height of the base of the windows < 80cm - Windows must be equipped with lever handles or similar system that easy to use Ramps
- Should have a safe slope, no
greater than 1:12; steeper than 1:12 can be dangerous as a wheelchair might tip over backwards - Should have a side edge or handrail to protect someone from wheeling off the edge - Should be at least 900 mm wide - Should have enough room at the top and bottom to provide a safe landing so someone can turn
- Slope should not exceed 5%, one
landing area at the top and one landing area at the bottom: minimum 1.40m x 1.40m
Handrails
- Should be at a consistent height
above each step (865-965 mm) - Above the surface of the ramp for the entire length of the stair or ramp
- Must be installed both on stairs
and ramps at a height of 70cm and 90cm when the slope exceeds 5 percent - Must be easy to grab: diameter 4cm - Must be solid enough to support bodyweight
Spaces inside
- Wide enough to allow a
wheelchair user to circulate and complete a full turn (Wheelchair users need a clear surface of 1.50 m x 1.50 m to complete a full turn) - Floor is solid, no- slippery and non-reflective
Switches
- Electrical lighting has been
provided to increase accessibility and safety - Switches or controls must be located at a height of 90cm above the ground and must be easy to use
Sanitary facilities
- Pathway is connected to the
sanitary facilities; most habitual, direct and the shortest - Space outside or inside the toilet is wide enough to allow a person in a wheelchair to complete a full turn (Clear surface of 1.5 m x 1.5 m, clear surface must be provided either inside or outside the cabin) - Toilet seat at a height of 45-50cm - Grab bar to facilitate the transfer (installed at a height of 80cm above the ground and strong enough to support body weight).
