Disabiltiy Alterations

Small businesses are being encouraged to adapt their premises to make them more accessible for disabled staff and customers. Most businesses today must make their establishment “reasonably" accessible to disabled individuals. It may depend on the type of service being provided and the size and resources of the service provider. Sometimes only simple changes may be needed. Signs, lights, and different colors could be classified as simple.

Significant changes may include wheelchair ramps, elevators, lifts, etc. Rails are usually a common installation. Rails help both able and disabled individuals. Bathrooms must also be accessible for the disabled. Minor adjustments include changing doors on cubicles from opening inwards to opening outwards. Most business parking lots must include disability spaces. These are the spaces closest to the building to provide a quick path to the establishment.
