peer agreement (net): +1| barreras arquitectónicas physical barriers Explanation: Rather than architectural or architectonic barriers, I believe they are called simply "physical barriers." If this is for a UK public, it appears that "physical barriers" is the expression used on both UK and EU government websites such as the ones shown below. 18,400 hits in Googles for "UK handicapped 'physical barriers'" and 18,000 hits for "UK disabled 'physical barriers'" Overcome Physical Barriers to Access Physical features of your premises can create barriers that make it impossible or very difficult for disabled people to access your goods or service. A physical feature: * is determined by the design or construction of the building * forms part of the approach, entrance and/or exit to your premises * can be fittings, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery or materials * is any other physical element on your premises Examples of physical features include: * steps, stairways, kerbs * floors and pavings * doors and gates * toilets and washing facilities * lighting and ventilation The aim is to overcome these barriers. (etc.) www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/ detail?type=RESOURCES&itemId=1073792014 Part 3 of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requires every business, large or small – from the local shop to restaurants, health clubs, dentists and supermarkets – to become more user-friendly to Britain’s 10 million disabled people. The law means that businesses will need to make reasonable changes – such as adapting premises, removing physical barriers or providing the service another way – so that disabled people can use the service. The change will affect over 2 million British businesses. Failure to act could result in legal action. http://www.euroblind.org/fichiersGB/ukaccess.htm From 1 October 2004 you may have to make reasonable adjustments to any physical barriers that may prevent disabled people using your service. Or you may have to provide your service by a reasonable alternative means, like bringing goods to the disabled person or helping them find items. There are some examples of the type of adjustments you could make below. http://www.disability.gov.uk/dda/employers/providers.asp |
