Importance of Mandatory Signs
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), along with other laws, has made it compulsory for businesses across all sectors of service and industry to comply with certain signage criteria. While the DDA calls for ‘reasonable adjustments’, many businesses are recognizing that complying with and exceeding government regulations on mandatory signs is vital and indeed beneficial to their companies.
One clear advantage of complying with existing laws and keeping ahead of future trends in ensuring fair treatment for all employees and members of the public who access a company’s premises or are directly affected by a company’s services is to pre-empt lawsuits and negate possible breech of insurance policies. This is the importance of Mandatory signs; compliance often means protecting your business’ interests.
Another important reason for DDA compliance is not only to improve the quality of workplace and services for people with impaired sight, but to also improve workplace efficiency through the ample use of well displayed tactile signs. These signs are recognized to have great impact when used in areas where normal employees, customers and visitors may have their sight temporarily impaired, such as manufacturing facilities, and also in facilities with people lacking in English language ability. Additionally, the importance of Mandatory sign compliance can be seen by those companies who use their compliance to boost the image of their company in business, government and public sectors
