The new edition of the best-selling Designing for Accessibility is
a completely up-to-date and user-friendly good practice guide based
on Approved Document M and BS 8300:2009 in the context of the
Equality Act 2010. Aimed at all those seeking to fulfil their
service provider duties under the Equality Act as well as
architects, designers, facilities managers and a range of consumers
(including disabled people), Designing for Accessibility includes
extensive plans and dimensional data illustrating internal and
external features that commonly need attention in public buildings.
The design recommendations occasionally go beyond those specified
in the Part M and BS 8300, reflecting good practice derived from
user experience, successful design and, where possible, empirical
research. The third edition has been extensively updated, improved,
extended and redesigned. It now accounts for the Equality Act
(which, among other things, replaced the Disability Discrimination
Act) and the 2009 edition of BS 8300. Completely new sections cover
shared spaces, Changing Places toilets, accessible baby changing
facilities, and light reflectance values. The sections for external
ramps and steps, door vision panels and sanitary facilities have
been updated. Finally, the sections on hazard warning, entrance and
internal doors, seating layouts, platform lifts, communication
systems, signage, building management and means of escape have all
been extended. Designing for Accessibility is an authoritative
guide to the increasingly important concept of inclusive design,
providing information that no designer or service provider can
afford to ignore.
