British Standards Institution (BSI) present the latest standards for Lift and Escalator Design, Installation and Maintenance.
SMART Audit DDA Access Audit software, (from Configure Limited), guides the user through a series of straightforward, carefully structured questions and activities that construct an accurate assessment of the building.
Once the audit has been completed, an Accessibility Report is produced, along with an Access Plan.
The Accessibility Report is a detailed assessment of the site based on the information collected, and includes referenced site photographs.
The Access Plan identifies prioritised actions, and indicative costs of making the recommended adjustments.
