Are you familiar with the DDA? The DDA is an acronym for the Disability Discrimination Act and it assists disabled individuals with all aspects of their life. This includes obtaining equitable health care, public transportation, education and employment.

If you are a business owner or service provider in the UK, you definitely need to know about the DDA and its specific requirements. The third part of this act was implemented in October 2004. The main goal is to ensure that all UK individuals have convenient access to all public and commercial buildings. The Act has helped to improve the life of many disabled individuals. They regularly inspect buildings to verify whether reasonable modifications have been made to accommodate all individuals, including disabled visitors. Heavy fines are levied for businesses that fail to cooperate.

One recommendation suggested by the DDA involves installing a passenger lift in your building. This revolutionary mechanism carries individuals up and down stairs in or outside of a building. A platform lift can also transport people vertically to various floors within a building. Some of the larger commercial models will rise to an incredible height of 9 metres or beyond! A passenger lift is very convenient. It will allow anyone to quickly enter and exit your business. This can increase your customer base; disabled individuals may have difficulty accessing multi-level buildings that don’t contain a passenger lift.

In addition to their convenience, passenger lifts are also very unobtrusive and attractive. Long gone are the days of ugly monstrous gray structures. Customers can now choose colours, styles or building materials that complement the décor of the building. Consequently, the passenger lift will often blend right in to the surroundings.

A platform lift also comes in many different styles to suit your particular needs. You can choose vertical lifts that will transport individuals between 0 and 9 metres. Some models attach to stairs so that anyone can travel up and down a flight of stairs easily and safely. Some customers will opt for a portable lift model if they don’t require a permanent lift. This allows them to move the passenger lift to another location if required.
