When planning your dining room, you should contact the Americans with Disabilities Act (American Dental Assoc.) In 1990. Even if it is really a law of the United States, and this book is probably in other countries, the American Dental Assoc is read. Proposals in each country as a call for sensitivity to the needs of people with physicinclude must ensure that companies with 15 or more workers do not shoot more or refuse to hire people with disabilities are considered, unless theDisability prevents the person from doing the work.
Significantly grumbling if the American Dental Assoc. was adopted, especially by entrepreneurs, it was clear that the law placed in too far, and it was costing them money from expensive changes to their bodies feel. Causes and complaints, ranging from clients with limited mobility Ada require ramps to the request of workers and prevention programs for workersCompensation for on-the-job back injuries.
In the first law signed in 1990, the American Dental Assoc. does not require restaurant owners to immediately upgrade the existing facilities for the convenience. This oversight has led some to believe that their companies were acquired, "and the law does not apply to them. However, the Ada Civil Rights Act, and no company is exempt from compliance. American Dental Assoc. It is based on owner and operator expected changes and elimination of barrierscomfort in old buildings for a period of growth.
Since the company should in no way alter the existing structures, particularly in procedures, the "usability" to change the appearance or influence the items with ADA guidelines. Even without changes, companies are not free to convenience needs, a strategy must be prepared to remove all obstacles to change over the years could be achieved. For new buildings (some builtafter January 25, 1993) Ada Convenience prescribed guidelines. In the case of U.S. Department of Justice, which calls down the guidelines, five steps to each new hospitality properties to ensure compliance with Ada:
1 Obtain copies of guidelines Convenience Ada and give them the architect and building companies. While the architects and contractors to create the rule, the requirements of state building and fire codes they know that they could not so familiar with the American Dental Assoc.Needs that are often different.
2 Enter your architects and builders expect that you will meet your new device with the American Dental Assoc. Standard. Emphasizing that the American Dental Assoc. Compliance is really a priority.
3 Before the construction, ensure the preparation of joint plans for ADA-related error, perhaps their use is controlled by someone with the American Dental Assoc. Know-how.
4 Make sure that the system is always constructed according to the AdaRequirements, as indicated in the plans.
5 Check the system at the completion of construction to identify fault Ada, if at all, and mistakes are corrected promptly.
By definition, the view, Ada is a '"primary function area", as one in which people who play the main activities for which the plant is used. Places to eat in a restaurant, conference rooms, a convention center and customer service areas in a retail store are examples of primary areas of functionality. Areas such aslocal technicians, cleaning closets, sitting areas and storage areas are not primary functional areas of the American Dental Assoc considered .. The main areas of functionality must be easily accessible for everyone.
These include sunken or raised areas and outdoor seating, unless the furniture and the same party in-space are used by the public courtesy and is not limited to use by people with disabilities. Ada gets a lot of credit for forcing a national re-evaluation ofAttitudes toward people with physical limitations. It is estimated that 54 million Americans have some form of disability, and their patronage is as precious as any other. Disabled travelers spend about $ 3600000000 a year ago, according to a 2003 study by the Open Doors in Chicago, Illinois.
This clearinghouse for information on disability issues and entry reported that the potential market for the disability community to grow $ 27000000000. Workers in hotels andRestaurants have learned at airports and car rental information on the special needs of disabled, both physically and emotionally. These days workers are in the restaurant industry take the initiative far more likely to feel a real commitment to a client is relaxed, no matter what its limit and beyond that required by restrictions law.al.
In 1992, the American Dental Assoc. It has not been revised enough to know that for a wheelchair to make a turn of 180 degrees, 60Space-inch is not necessary. In the parking lot for sanitation, the Ada definitely influence the planning. The IBC / ADAAG Comparison is a document of nearly 400 pages, a useful reference to the International Code Council (www.iccsafe.org) that combines the accessibility of higher resources for the building, including the International Building Code ( IBC) and the proposed Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility (ADAAG). What are the technical requirements?To study.
Parking:
Among other points, the American Dental Assoc. Mandates a certain number of parking spaces available. (Although we do not like the use of the term, which seem to be more common than recognized sites for disabled.) The numbers range from a parking agreement for a large total with only 25 seats to nine rooms for many more of 400 seats. These rooms should be as near the entrance to the public, and must be clearly marked (usuallywith the universal symbol of comfort), so that the signs are not obscured by other parked vehicles.
Most of the characters were developed to ensure that a wheelchair to enter. Each of these special rooms must be at least 8 feet wide (96 inches) with a path adjacent to at least five feet (60 centimeters). Van parking spaces are 11 feet (132 cm) and will require a lane adjacent to 6 meters (72 inches). A shield with the symbol of accessibility should distinguish this car parkSpaces, such as distinguishing designation "van accessible" in bold, just below the icon convenience. Parking areas should be level with surface slopes not more than 1.50 ratio in all directions.
This report indicates that the surface does not slope more than an inch for every 50 inches of the roadway. And, for every six parking spaces for disabled people must be of larger size, the space truck. In the car on the creation of access, the travel path of at least 36 inches wide.Stair railings 34-38 inches above the stairs are still needed. Wheelchair ramps must be gentle, with a height of 1:20. If the ramp more than 6 feet must be equipped with handrails at the same height as the need for stairs.
Inputs:
Must be a minimum of 50 percent of the inputs to any food service facility available to people with disabilities, including emergency exits. In case of defective doors are no signs to indicate theLocation of accessible entrances. If the door does not open electronically, should be 32 inches wide. Knobs, handles, locks, locks on doors and other access controls should be designed with very easy to nobody hands firmly placed in the handle or twisting of the wrist to open or close the door of 34-38 cm above the floor.
Loop or lever styles are preferable, the door handles. Next on the handle of the drawer open, should be 18evident in the wall space. If there are double doors, the request is 30 - to 40-inch floor space would however, not to mention space, usually need to open the door swing. If you find revolving doors, adjacent to a door for people with disabilities is necessary. Ramps with a rise of 6 inches should handrail.
Public places:
Once at the restaurant, the customer requires a wheelchair for at least 36 inches wide corridor. If help is offered to counter, a 5-foot-part28-34 cm from the lower counter to facilitate the cultivation of the soil from a sitting position. Desktop requirements should be the same height as a counter. Banquet in situations where individuals have to sit at a table, head held high, for example, a ramp or lift must be provided.
Food serving the tram lines have a minimum width of 36 inches away, but preferably 42 inches, to allow passage of a person who uses a wheelchair. Tray Slides must be mounted withoutlarger than 34 cm from the ground, and self-service elements must be positioned so that they are from someone in a seated position-horizontal cups, stored, for example, rather than stacked vertically. could be achieved at the bar of salads, cold pans might tilted so that all elements are visible and can be reached very easily, reach in refrigeration units could have "air curtains" instead of doors.
Cough has a height of protection can be adjusted. Corridors, toilets and run-to-person toiletThe valves should be 36 inches wide. On the toilet, not rules, must be labeled with instructions to be accessible to those who have published. Door openings on both individual stalls and toilets must be at least 32 inches wide. The size of the toilets available are also regulated, must be a minimum of 5 square meters. WC (sink) need a clear space around them to accommodate the heelchair bound patron.
This means that a 30-by-48-inch space, with the edge of the tank is notmore than 34 cm in the soil. The lower edges of the mirror should hang no larger than 40 cm from the floor. Distributors of paper soap, towels and toilets must not exceed 54 inches in the ground. Finally, if they are placed in the bathrooms, the lobby or anywhere else in the restaurant, the phones should not be mounted higher than 54 cm in the soil.
Kitchen:
Two pieces of equipment that require special attention are Ada, hand sink and a desk.Neither obstacles including a wheelchair by the proximity of people would have done to avoid using them safely, and everyone should be accessible to disabled high. In the past such as restaurants, designers and consultants disabled convenience problem of bricks and mortar. While door widths and heights of the transitions are more important today are the drawer service aspects are equally essential.
Each restaurant has its own specific way of doing things, whether formal orinformal policies, procedures and routines that help the company to operate as smoothly as possible. Sometimes these methods to perform normal points make it difficult or impossible for people with disabilities for the purchase of products and services.
American Dental Assoc. Restaurants requires "reasonable modifications" in their usual way of carrying out points if necessary to accommodate guests with disabilities.
Most rooms include minor adjustments inProcess or some additional support. American Dental Assoc. Guidelines do not specify how or what should be to make "reasonable modifications", but the idea is that a client is not willing to accommodations that are relatively easy to close. The barriers can be more than the width of a corridor. For example, the plan how to welcome guests who are blind?
A good server, which can test the menu aloud and answer questions significantlyeaser and much cheaper than print with Braille menus, especially when the menu changes frequently. It should also be noted that employees are not required to leave work, help to care for a disabled person in the performance so as to endanger the safe operation of a restaurant. Each transaction can mean expensive or cheap, to help guests use of our services and purchase our products.
A simple piece of paper and pencil to communicate withHearing impaired, as a (mobile text) TTY connection, or the employment of a person who knows sign language. Everyone respects the dictates of the American Dental Assoc .. Congress has provided two types of incentives for restaurants and other businesses to offset the cost of compliance with the support of the law. A "barrier-free access to credit" is available for small businesses that have 30 or fewer employees or total sales of less than $ 1,000,000 per year.
There is a tax credit up to $ 5,000Year to offset the costs of removing barriers, setting the interpreter, the creation of documents in other formats (eg Braille or large print) and so on. This provision is in § 44 of the IRS code. § 190 of the tax law allows restaurants of every size, pull out as much as $ 15,000 annually, to include the cost of removing barriers in facilities or vehicles, and "barriers" in this case, that impede effective communication and incentivesavailable on current affairs is not new.
Your accountant is the largest source of additional information. Overall, the hotel industry has been exemplary in recognizing the need for convenience, because we are in a business that focuses intensely on customer support. Most of us recognize that the production of these adjustments is a common sense way to do justice to an important part of our customers. The American Dental Assoc. has contributed to many policies and practices that first1990, there were informal in many places.
