Facility : Space Allowance |
|
|

Adequate space should be allocated for persons using mobility devices, e.g.
wheelchairs, crutches and walkers, as well as those walking with the
assistance of other persons. (Fig:1.1a, 1.1b, 1.1g and 1.1h) |

The
range of reach (toward and side; with or without obstruction) of a person in
a wheelchair should be taken into consideration. (Fig: 1.1c, 1.1d, 1.1e and 1.1f) |

Attention should be given to dimensions of wheelchairs used locally. |
