We understand for a hospital or medical facility to be fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), you must have the proper signs in place. Therefore, we offer various ADA handicap signs designed for use in hospitals and medical facilities. From accessible parking to restroom signs, we have everything you need to guarantee the facility follows the ADA.
What are ADA Signs?
ADA signs have been specifically designed to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. This act requires all public facilities, including hospitals and medical facilities, to provide reasonable accommodations for those with disabilities. This means the facility must be accessible to those who use wheelchairs, have vision impairments, or have other disabilities which might make it difficult for them to access the facility.
What are ADA Signs Required?
There are a variety of different signs required to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The specific signs needed will depend on the facility's layout and the types of services offered. However, some of the most commonly required ADA signs include the following:
- Handicap Parking Signs: If designated handicapped parking spaces are on the property, they need signs which designate them. These signs must meet specific size, color, and wording requirements to comply with the ADA.
- Handicap Restroom Signs: If the facility has restrooms designated for use by people with disabilities, they need signs indicating those restrooms. These signs must meet specific size, color, and wording requirements to comply with the ADA.
- Braille Signs: Signs need to be understood by people who are blind or have low vision. This is accomplished by adding braille to the sign. Braille is a system of raised dots which can be read by touch. To comply with the ADA, braille signs must meet specific size, color, and wording requirements.
