Curbing Ramps And Tripping Hazards
Another ADA compliance regulation is to determine whether a sidewalk crosses a street or needs a curb ramp installed. Most commercial buildings that have traffic surrounding or near them need to add a curb ramp to help with the disabled or blind from dealing with unsafe traffic levels. There are sloping requirements that curb ramps have to have as well as warning devices and contrasting colors to fall in line with the ADA compliance principles.
However, when it comes to trip hazards, the ADA clarifies that any vertical change around ¼ inch or higher at any joint or crack can be determined as a hazardous point. Therefore, the liabilities that come with the inefficiencies to comply with ADA could fall back on the commercial company.
How To Get Your Concrete To Be ADA Compliant
The easiest way for commercial companies to be ADA compliant with their concrete decisions is to have a professional like Concrete Contractors GP investigate or install the concrete initially. There are common concerns about resurfacing and leveling that needs to be in line with the guidelines of ADA. Some common concerns are in regards to ramp leveling, handrails, or pass ways that need to be accessible with disabled. Therefore, commercial companies need to consider the overall conditions and deliverance of the concrete to avoid any potential lawsuits that can occur with the inadequacies of falling short of ADA compliance.
