With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, businesses open to the public are required to make their facilities accessible to people of all abilities. Part of meeting the guidelines is having the appropriate signage in place. Fortunately, The Sign Studio is one of the top suppliers of ADA signs for Burbank, CA.
Types of ADA and Accessibility Signs
There is a broad range of California Title 24, accessible parking, Braille restroom, area of refuge, and other signs that organizations must have. Here are some of the options we get the most requests for:
- Title 24 Restroom Signs – California has special regulations to make facilities more accessible to handicapped individuals. This includes what signage is used for restrooms. For instance, doorways leading to men’s sanitary facilities must be identified with an equilateral triangle, whereas women’s facilities must have a circle. We offer both as well as unisex options.
Accessibility Assistance – Assistance labels and signs let your customers know about their rights under the ADA and that you care about them. Some of the options we offer are “Accessible service counter,” “Ring bell for assistance,” “Inquire inside for ramp assistance,” “Reserved seating,” and an array of other signs.- Pool / Spa Lift Signs – Effective in 2012, the ADA requires spas and pools to have accessible means of entry. Swimming pools must have two accessible means of entry, and spas need to have at least one. Lifts and transfer systems comply with this requirement. You need to label these lifts and also give instructions on how to use them.
- Service Animal and Pet Rules – The ADA says that organizations that serve the public must allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals into all parts of the facility where visitors are normally allowed to go. Service animal notice labels and signs aid you in avoiding violations of this law and lets your customers with disabilities know they are welcome.
- Severe Weather / Rescue Area Signs – When people in wheelchairs are in the upper floors of a multi-floor building, they cannot just take an elevator when there is an emergency. By clearly labeling areas of rescue, emergency personnel will know where to find these individuals.
We Can Customize Your ADA Marker
One of the biggest mistakes property managers and building owners make is to just go with the cheapest standard ADA signage they can find. They figure it is best to spend as little money as possible on meeting the regulations. However, these businesses are missing a great opportunity to build their name recognition.
We can customize any ADA signs to include your corporate colors, logo, and fonts. This exposes customers and visitors to your building to your brand. Our graphic designers are skilled at perfectly matching the branding you use on your other marketing materials.
