Tactile Indicators

Tactile indicator studs are an essential tool for ensuring pedestrian safety in busy or slip-prone areas. They also help anyone who is blind or visually impaired to navigate the world; by warning people when they are approaching a hazardous situation, such as stairs or a train platform, as well as providing directional cues for getting around in public spaces.

When it comes to installing tactile indicator studs, compliance is extremely important for safety, and ensures that visually impaired people get consistent information about their surroundings.

Incorrect installation or maintenance not only puts people’s safety or lives at risk, but also opens your business up to a host of legal and financial liabilities around OH&S compliance, as well as discrimination against people with disabilities.
