The final phase of Part 3 of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) which came into force in 2004 places a duty on organisations offering a service to members of the public to remove, where reasonable, physical barriers that prevent access to people with disabilities (Including problems with manual dexterity, physical co-ordination, speech defects, hearing loss, visual impairment and learning difficulties). The impact upon a business will need to be evaluated with a commercial eye to comply with the DDA while supplying a cost effective solution to individual cases.

The three stages to compliance with the DDA are audit, execution of works and finally validation and issuing of compliance documentation. Abercorn Environmental Ltd have the expertise to assist in all phases of this process. The Audit comprises a thorough physical inspection of each individual property undertaken by a qualified auditor with wide ranging experience of disability issues (encompassing items such as visibility of signage, measurements of doorways and ramps, heights of control devices and dimensions of toilet cubicles).
