Why AODA Signs Are Important?

As reported by surveys conducted by the Federal government, it was revealed that there are over 750,000 Canadians who have some type of visual Impairment, 500,000 who are partially or completely blind, and 5.59 million who suffer from any disease that could cause vision loss.

In addition, one in every five Canadians has at least one type of disability, which means that over 6.2 million Canadians aged 15 and over have a physical and/or cognitive disability. Plus, 4 out of 10 Canadians are reported to have a severe or very severe case of disabilities. This is the reason why owners of establishments and facilities are urged to install AODA signs where needed.

ADA Guidelines To Be followed

While most people think that AODA signs only refer to braille and raised characters, the law requires much more details than that. These signs mainly benefit those who are blind or visually impaired. However, the guidelines set forth by the Act also aid those who have a hearing, speaking, cognitive, psychiatric and mobility impairments.

Some of the specifications mandated by law are that the signs must be made from non-glare materials, must have a dark to light contrast between the characters and its background, the symbols must be classic and not stylized in order to avoid confusion, the typeface must be simple and non-decorative, among others.

Furthermore, the law necessitates that they be put up in all business establishments in order to assist employees, customers, and guests as they make their way around the building. AODA signs are installed at permanent spaces in your building, as well as specific areas that lead to those spaces.
