Entrance and Reception

There are many things to think about here but as a starting point consider the following:

  • is the entrance to your building easily distinguishable?
  • do the doors to your building open inwards or outwards?
  • is the threshold into your building flush?
  • if you have security access to your building is it easy to find/read/use/reach?
  • is there a canopy or porchway over the door/s?
  • are entrance mats firm and flush to the floor?
  • is there a lobby into your building?
  • what type of doors are your entrance doors?
  • how heavy are they?
  • are the doors on automatic closers?
  • is there an effective clear width through the doors?
  • are the doors glazed?
  • are the doors easily distinguishable from their surroundings?
  • are the door handles easy to grip?
  • is your reception desk easy to find?
  • can your receptionist’s face be seen by all people at the other side of the counter?
  • is the reception desk high or low enough to accommodate most people?
  • is there space for someone in a wheelchair to park alongside their companion in your waiting area?
  • do you have a mixture of seating available in your waiting area?
  • is your reception area serviced by an induction loop?

This list is not exhaustive but gives you an idea of the types of things an access audit will look at.  It also gives you a starting point when you begin to consider your own services and premises.

WHY IS HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING IMPORTANT?
£30BN lost each year to the economy due to the failure of employers providing adequate health and safety training

Health and Safety training at all levels is important to ensure that all employees are competent to carry out their tasks in a safe manner.

The Health and Safety Executive have published several leaflets that explain the importance of health and safety training to owners and managers of businesses. It gives advice on who may need training, what form the training may take and how to organise it.

Health and safety law says:
• employees must be trained and clearly instructed in their duties;
• employers and host companies must ensure contractors are properly trained to work safely.
