Description
This course builds on the essentials covered in Level 1 and is aimed at those who have already attended Level 1 or who feel they have sufficient knowledge and experience of the areas covered there.
In Level 2 we explore more complex ramping scenarios and also look at how to assess for ramps with side-on approaches and changes of direction. We explore the pros and cons of level/sloped access vs ramped access and how to assess for each. Additional topics include: designing for users with visual impairments; the purpose and use of Ramp Design Briefs (specifications).
In this course we will look at:
- Assessing for ramps with side-on approaches and changes-of-direction e.g. ramps that “go around the garden”
- Considerations for communal ramps e.g. at entrances to blocks of flats
- Design considerations for users with visual impairments
- Design considerations for handrails
- Introduction to composite ramps for domestic properties
- Design briefs for semi-permanent (modular) and permanent ramps and provision of the Viva Access Ramp Design Brief
- Pros and cons of level & sloped access vs ramped access
- Review of one or more complex ramping schemes within a group setting
