Since Part Three of the Disability Discrimination Act came into effect, public service providers have had to pay attention to the needs of the visually impaired.

There are many different types of visual impairment that need to be catered for, and providing a proper system of signage is an excellent way of catering for the specific needs of the visually impaired.

In our opinion you need to consider:

• what type of safety and tactile signs you need
• where your safety and tactile signs are to be located
• the content of the safety and tactile signs
• the positioning of the safety and tactile signs
• the need for braille signs
