Objective: The objective of the Accessible India Campaign is to create
mass awareness for accessibility, which will enable persons with disabilities to live independently and participate fully
in all aspects of life. The building being audited shall be judged for the accessibility based on standard and the
identified barriers will be looked into the inherence accessibility. This will help barrier free environment for
People with disabilities, children, old age people, pregnant women, people with temporary disabilities and people with
less mobility.
Principles of the Audit The Access Audit has been undertaken to appraise defined
areas of the existing buildings/campus to access the extent of accessibility to services and facilities and propose the
extent of works required to improve the current facilities in accordance with the definitions of the Disability
Discrimination Act 1995. The Audit takes into account the needs of people with mobility impairments (Including wheel
chair users) and sensory impairments. The audit will be identify physical barriers to access against pre-determined
criteria. The audit should be treated as the starting point of an ongoing access plan, constantly updated by the
committee. This audit should only be seen as a snapshot of the position at the time of the report. Changes made
after the site inspection may improve or reduce levels of accessibility. As the DDA evolves, so will buildings, and
review of audits already completed should be considered on a periodic basis. The DDA is not compliance-based
legislation and relate to discrimination, not directly to the buildings and physical standards.

information, Maps and models). Information from signs can be conveyed by the colour
of lettering and brightness differentials between the letter and background colours. Safety signs use
primarily red, yellow and green as information colours. For other signs it is preferable to use Blue and White
Colours. Basic principles for Colour Contrast:
� Text should contrast with sign background
� Sign should contrast with environment
� Light levels (measured in Lux)
� 70% contrast between wall and sign panel
� Avoid shades of colours
� Avoid using same colours as safety signs
� Non-reflective surface

and floor.

should be marked with a contrasting colour form the
level flooring to warn people with vision impairments.

from the background as well as the grab bars.

risers and the treads so that people can easily
distinguish between the steps.
Handrails: Handrails on stairs, ramps and single steps
should contrast from the background wall.

door frames should contrast from both the door and the
adjoining wall, and door hardware should contrast from
