DDA Works

The Disabled Discrimination Act (DDA) requires building owners and occupiers not to discriminate against people in the provision of services and accommodation. Service providers also have to make “reasonable adjustments” to their premises to overcome barriers to access.

BS 5665 Part 6 2002 – Annex H provides information on the design and fixtures of lifts. Among the many areas that need to be considered are the size of the lift car; the width of the car entrance; the height of the push buttons; indicators and emergency communication.

Our Repair Department are able to offer the most cost effective solutions to bring your lift up to current standard.

Please contact us if you are concerned about how DDA affects your lifts.
