Access Audits

An NHS building

An Access Audit is often the first step to identifying and removing disabling barriers within your company. A pan disability audit of your building will involve on site observations and a detailed physical inspection of your property. All recommendations for change will be prioritised and cost banded to assist you with the planning and resourcing of any adjustments that may be required.  

We examine both the physical features of your building and management practices. Our audits include :  

• The external environment
• Entrance and reception area
• Horizontal and vertical circulation
• Toilet and specific facilities
• Controls and equipment
• Communication systems
• Means of escape provisions
• Signage and way finding
• Colour and lighting
• The acoustic environment.

Let’s not forget that staff attitudes, management practices, policies and procedures and maintenance issues can all impact on how disabled people use your building.  

Proudlock Associates’ Access Audits are created to provide a user-friendly, detailed assessment, together with recommendations and cost estimates. Plans and diagrams are also provided.
