Steep Slope Wheelchair Access Ramp – Not build with proper specifications or local building requirements wheelchair ramp guide.
Wheelchair ramps should safe is an extremely important step to maintaining safety and wheelchair user’s freedom to move independently.
But as can be seen in the photo below, the wheelchair ramps are difficult to use or even dangerous for the disabled community. Mistakes can avoid when building ramps with proper specifications,
In my experience, people do not have the information needed to know how long their ramp should be. They understandably want to save money and space, and some have installed ramps that were too steep.
For a permanent wheelchair ramp for public access it is usually best to use the lowest slope possible, which means, build the longest wheelchair ramp that you have space for.
A steep wheelchair ramp is difficult to climb and can be very dangerous because of the risk of tipping backwards.
Usually it is necessary to provide a gradual transition from the wheelchair ramp to the landing.
Please wake up the disabled community in Malaysia and should do something to stop this “Killing Ramp” and to build with “SIRIM” proper specification.
