Description

This manual covers the design, improvement, maintenance and management of accessible environments. It shows you how to provide and run buildings, services, and employment facilities to enable independent and convenient use by everyone.

The Access Manual was first published in November 2003 and has been used by architects and facilities managers needing to meet the requirements of new legislation in 2004. This is a fast moving area and there are now several additional pieces of legislation and guidance central to inclusive design and making buildings accessible. The Second edition has been released to cater for these additions.

This new edition follows the same structure and approach and has updated the following areas of legislation: The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 & 2005, The Building Regulations: approved document to Part M (2004), The Planning and Compulsory Purchases Act 2004 and The British Standards: amendment and updating of BS8300. The authors have also updated the material on access auditing, providing additional examples and sample access audit reports and access statements.

With its comprehensive information on standards, legislation and good practice, the manual will make sure you can be fully aware of the issues involved in accessibility, understand your legal obligations and the guidance available, commission access audits, create and manage an access improvement programme and maintain accessibility in buildings and working practices.
