Could Your Disabled WC Facilities Put Your Business Down The Pan?

Did the above statement made you laugh? Sadly that question is very much reality and if you are serious about protecting your business you seriously need to read on!

Studies have shown that a staggering 95% of disabled WC facilities offered for public use by businesses, hotels, shops etc are not only illegal but are dangerous and could result in your company being sued.
More than 80% of newly fitted disabled WC facilities are incorrectly installed without your knowledge.
The Disability Discrimination Act (now the Equality Act 210) has very specific requirements for disabled WC’s. A case of injury or death due to not meeting these requirements would be very difficult if not impossible to defend.
Disabled WC facilities have to meet the needs of wheelchair users, the blind, visually impaired and ambient disabled as well as the many disabilities including, sensory, physical and learning disabilities.
Apart from access and egress the single most important as well as dangerous areas are your WC facilities.
