Channel Disabled Toilet Alarm Kit

Channel’s wide range of disabled persons toilet alarms have long been regarded as amongst the best products in the marketplace.

Fully Compliant with BS8300:200
 
Their system is simplicity itself and is therefore fully self contained with all components designed to be connected back to the main control module. The system was successfully designed to provide a simple to use facility that provides clear reassurance for disabled persons.

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) was introduced to improve and or provide access to buildings & services for everybody.

All organisations which have more than 20 employees (currently under review and likely to be lowered) and provide goods, facilities and services to the public must comply.

Channels products - established for over 20 years - will help towards compliance with the DDA and provide reassurance for disabled persons.

Who needs a Disabled Persons Toilet Alarm?
The Disability Discrimination Act states that it is the DUTY of an employer or service provider to make adjustments to the premises to meet the needs of a disabled person.

Companies or organisations offering goods, facilities and services to the general public must make ‘reasonable’ adjustments to ensure that they do not discriminate against disabled people.

BS 8300:2001 Design Of Buildings And Their Approach To Meet The Needs Of Disabled People .States:  “An emergency assistance pull cord should be sited so that it can be operated from the WC and from an adjacent floor area.”

Has the owner/operator of the premises carried out a full Health & Safety Risk Assessment?
If so it is likely that any disabled persons toilet facility must be provided with an alarm system.

Why should I comply?
If discriminatory behaviour is proved in court, damages awarded are unlimited and may be substantial (including compensation for injury to feelings).
If an accident occurs and help can not be summoned who will be held responsible?
