Posted By Peter Bailey Laurie, The important link between the requirements of the DDA and safety practitioners is our inclusion. Whether we are "responsible" or not we must be included in the process. Whether it is general access/egress, adaptations,equipment, methods of work et al I have found that disability advisors (good though they are)concentate on the case in hand and not the knock on effects to others. As with all situations a safety practitioner should be included: a) to agree the strategic approach to DDA; b) at the planning stage of any premises changes, equipment etc.; c) at all other situations where helath and safety implications need to be identified and resolved. You are quite right SP's need to be on board with DDR and its requirements should certainly be part of everyone's CPD. Peter.
