DDA (Disability Discrimination Act)The last few decades have seen massive researchinto the design and development of stairs and steps.As a result, the law now states that “colour contrast isessential for visually impaired persons. Nosings need toextend the full width of the tread and be 55mm on boththe tread & the riser”.Everybody is entitled to safe access into any building.Nearly 24% of people in the UK today have somedegree of vision loss, many ofwhom rely on colour and textureto remain mobile.Visible sight lines & edging strips,along with tactile plates (colouredred or buff) should be installedto mark crossing points, stairs orplatform edges. Please contactVULCAN Technical to upgradeexisting treads.The Health & Safety Executive estimates that stairinjuries cost employers and the public sector over abillion pounds a year, not to mention the thousands ofworking hours lost.The average claim for stairway accidents is £7000,but has gone as high as £68,000.The right nosing needs the right insert to meetthe correct need for foot traffic. All VULCANedgings - gritted GRP, stainless steel, aluminium, brassand the Traverse & VTac ranges - should be consideredto help clients provide the correct application to ensuremaximum performance throughoutits product life whether industrial,public or private sector.
