D. SAFETY

1. Fencing for Roadworks and Footworks

or fenced-in to protect pedestrians in general and the disabled in particular.
Whatever the type of fencing used, it is important that the railings should

1.1 The height of the top of the rail should be at least 1.00 m. above the
adjacent surface;
1.2 The railings should incorporate a tapping rail to assist the blind, this
should not be greater than 0.35 m. above the adjacent surface;
1.3 The fence should be strong enough to offer resistance should a blind
person walks into it;
1.4 Gaps should not occur between adjoining fence lengths;

2. Covers for Excavations

2.1 Excavations in the footway or carriageway where pedestrians may walk

should be covered temporarily with properly constructed and

2.2 If the footway width will be reduced to less than 1.20 m. because of the
excavation, the temporary covering should extend across the whole
footway;
2.3 Minimum dimensions at obstructions

2.3.2 If unavoidable, loose materials temporarily stored on footways

44
( July 10, 2013 Draft )
3. Signages for Roadworks on the Carriageway

lobbies, washrooms and emergency exits (through the use of different
textures to symbolize the spaces) should be provided at the main lobby
of each floor or other strategic locations; the markings on this tablet
should be readable by both the blind and the fully sighted;
4.2 Flashing light directional signs indicating the locations(s) of fire exits

1.1.1 Entry ramps should begin at the finish floor level of the walkway
adjacent to the swimming pool and end at a maximum depth of
750mm below (between 24” to 30” ) the stationary water level.

Fig. E.1.1

1.1.2 A Wading Pool is a pool designed for shallow depth and is used
for wading. Each wading pool must be provided at least one
entry ramp into the deepest part.

46
( July 10, 2013 Draft )
 1.1.3 Large pools must have a minimum of two (2) entry ramps. A
large pool is defined as any pool with over 90 linear meters of
pool wall.
1.1.4 Pools with 90 linear meters of pool wall and below are required
to have at least one (1) entry ramp.
2. Spas

Spas must be provided with at least one (1) entry ramp. If spas are provided
in a cluster, five percent (5%) of the total or at least one spa must have an
entry ramp.

3. Sports Facilities

3.1 Lockers
If lockers are provided, at least 5 percent, but not less than one of
each type (full, half, quarter, etc.) must be accessible. Accessible
benches should be located adjacent to the accessible lockers.

3.2 Benches
Accessible benches are required in dressing, fitting, and locker rooms,
and where seating is provided in saunas and steam rooms. Benches
must have a clear floor space positioned to allow persons using
wheelchairs or other mobility devices to approach parallel to the short
end of a bench seat. In saunas and steam rooms, this floor space may
be obstructed by readily removable seats.

Benches must have seats that are a minimum of 508 mm to a

maximum of 600 mm in depth and 1.066 m minimum in length. The
seat height should be a minimum of 432 mm to a maximum of 482
mm above the finished floor. If the bench is not located next to a wall,
the bench must have back support that is 1.066 m minimum in length
and extends from a point 50 mm maximum above the seat to a point
450 mm minimum above the bench. Benches must be strong enough
to withstand a vertical or horizontal force of 113 kgs applied at any
point on the seat, fastener, mounting device, or supporting structure.
The provisions for benches are not intended to apply to park benches
or other benches used for sitting or resting.

If benches are located in wet areas, the surface must be slip-resistant

and designed not to accumulate water.

47
( July 10, 2013 Draft )
 Fig. E.3.2

3.3 Team Player Seating Areas

3.3.1 Where provided, fixed team or player seating areas must contain the
number of wheelchair spaces and companion seats required by
ADAAG (based on the number of seats provided), but not less than
one space. One option is to provide a clear space adjacent to a fixed
bench, with the bench serving as companion seating. If designers and
operators are designing a field or court that will serve a variety of
wheelchair sports, exceeding the minimum requirements will better
accommodate participants.

3.3.2 Wheelchair spaces in the team player seating areas are exempt
from the requirements related to admission price and line of
sight choices in assembly areas. It is recommended that ramps
be used wherever possible for accessible routes connecting
team or player seating areas and areas of sport activity.
However, a platform lift may be used as part of an accessible
route to team player seating areas.

Fig. E.3.3.2

48
( July 10, 2013 Draft )
3.4 Exercise Equipment and Machines

At least one of each type of exercise equipment or machine must have

clear floor space of at least 762 x 1200 mm and be served by an
accessible route. If the clear space is enclosed on three sides (e.g., by
walls or the equipment itself), the clear space must be at least 914 X
1200 mm.

Most strength training equipment and machines would be considered

different types. For example, a bench press machine is different from a
biceps curl machine. If operators provide both a biceps curl machine
and free weights, both must meet the guidelines in this section even
though both can be used to strengthen biceps. Likewise, cardiovascular
exercise machines, such as stationary bicycles, rowing machines, stair
climbers and treadmills, are all different types of machines. But if the
only difference in equipment provided is that they have different
manufacturers, but are the same type, only one must comply.

Clear floor space must be positioned to allow a person to transfer from

a wheelchair or to use the equipment while seated in a wheelchair. For
example, to make a shoulder press accessible, the clear floor space
should be next to the seat. But the clear floor space for a bench press
designed for use by a person using a wheelchair would be centered on
the operating mechanisms. Clear floor space for more than one piece
of equipment may overlap. For example, where different types of
exercise equipment and machines are located next to other pieces of
equipment, the clear space may be shared.

The exercise equipment and machines themselves do not need to

comply with the ADAAG requirements regarding controls and operating
mechanisms.

Designers and operators are encouraged to select exercise equipment

that provides fitness opportunities for persons with lower body
extremity disabilities.

49
( July 10, 2013 Draft )
 Fig. E.3.4

3.5 Shooting Facilities

If facilities provide fixed firing positions, at least 5 percent, but not less
than one of each type of fixed firing position must be served by an
accessible route. Fixed firing positions must have a 1500 mm diameter
space with slopes not steeper than 1:48 so a wheelchair user can turn
around and have a level place from which to shoot.

Types of different firing positions include positions with different

admission prices, positions with or without weather covering or
lighting, and positions that support different shooting events (e.g.,
muzzle loading rifle, small bore rifle, high power rifle, bull’s eye pistol,
action pistol, silhouette, trap, skeet, and archery).

3.6 Bowling Lanes

At least 5 percent, but not less than one, of each type of bowling lane
must be accessible. Unlike other areas of sport activity, only those
team or player seating areas that serve accessible lanes must be
connected with an accessible route and comply with seating
requirements.
