Phoenix area hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities need to have clear and ADA-compliant signage. This is crucial to creating an accessible, welcoming, and safe environment. At Arizona Custom Signworks, we take the guesswork out of figuring out what signs your facility needs and where.
The American Disabilities Act (ADA) mandates medical facilities meet certain standards when it comes to signage in and around them. We will make sure your signs are beautiful, functional, and meet ADA regulations so you can avoid possible legal issues in the future.
All public facilities must ensure accessibility for those with disabilities. In Hospitals, both patients and staff need signs to navigate the labyrinth of hallways often found within. These signs must be easy to read, also have braille translations, and be at heights and angles to allow them to be read by those in wheelchairs.
The last thing your facility wants to do is alienate those with disabilities. Creating a more welcoming environment for everyone also protects your facility from the legal repercussions of not complying with the ADA and improves public perception of your facility. We have the know-how to ensure this doesn’t happen.
Some of the signs you need may include:
Restroom signs – ADA compliance requires easy-to-read raised letters with braille translations.
Accessibility signs – Signs which direct those with disabilities to wheelchair ramps, elevators, and so on must be easy to read and placed according to ADA regulations.
Room ID signs – These should be easy to read, with raised text and braille, so the room’s purpose is clear to everyone.
Facility Navigation Signs -These are a must for even normally abled people to find their way around most hospitals. Now imagine if you were visually impaired, in a wheelchair, or with some other disadvantage.
Emergency Signs – At no time is it more important everyone can clearly understand your signs than when there is an emergency. All your emergency exit signs, fire safety signs, and evacuation maps must be ADA-compliant and easy to understand, especially with the added stress of an emergency situation.
We know your signs must meet regulatory guidelines. But they don’t have to be utilitarian or unattractive. Our design team will help you make each sign your own. We can customize your signs by choosing color options with your branding and using different shapes and materials whenever possible while still ensuring that they’re ADA compliant.
Medical facilities must be clean above all, so we will make sure all of your signage is made from high-grade, easy-to-clean materials that will last for years while not fading due to repeated cleanings with the professional-grade disinfectants used in hospitals.
No two medical facilities are the same. Each has its own sign requirements. We are well versed in the ADA regulations needed to keep your facility user-friendly for everyone and protect you legally. We know which signs you need, and we know where they need to be installed. Our professional installers will make sure every sign is in the right location and at the perfect height. Arizona Custom Signworks is the one-stop solution for all your medical facility sign needs in the Phoenix area.
