Top 4 ADA Compliance Issues in Office and Industrial Spaces
Ensuring your office or industrial facility complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is essential. Here are four common compliance issues that we see and how to address them.

1. Inaccessible Entrances and Pathways
Issue: Entrances with steps, narrow doors, or obstructed pathways can hinder access for individuals with mobility devices.
Solution: Install ramps with appropriate slopes, widen doorways to at least 32 inches, and ensure pathways are clear and at least 36 inches wide.
2. Non-Compliant Restrooms
Issue: Restrooms lacking grab bars, with sinks too high, or stalls too narrow fail to meet ADA standards.
Solution: Equip restrooms with grab bars, adjust sink heights to 34 inches maximum, and provide stalls that are at least 60 inches wide.
3. Improper Signage
Issue: Signs without Braille or with poor contrast can be difficult for individuals with visual impairments.
Solution: Use high-contrast colors and include Braille on all essential signage, ensuring readability and compliance.
