ORFI RESTAURANT
6. CORRIDORS, LIFTS AND TOILETS
Purple group
1. The restaurant must have wide corridors.
People who use wheelchair very often cannot pass through many corridors of
the restaurants due to the size of these. We believe that restaurants should take
responsibility of this issue and make wide corridors to also guarantee the
access of people that use a wheelchair -so they can pass without problems.
2. The restaurant may insert a railing in the restaurant's
toilet.
This is an important measure to help independent disabled
people. So, whenever they need to use the toilet, railing may
help them to sit down and get up, and in this way so many
restaurant’s toilets would be more accessible.
3. Restaurants must place protective rails in all ramps.
This is a security measure that all the ramps for disabled
people must have protective rails to avoid falls -because,
regardless of the height, if a person falls down he could hurt
himself badly-.
4. The sink must be at the proper height.
People in wheelchairs do not move around at the same height than people
without them, but most of the restaurants only put their sink at the height for
people with no disabilities. This only discriminates against disabled people who
want to use the toilett features; and they can’t use it because they don’t arrive!
For this reason, restaurants must be thinking about this measure and put
accessible sinks.
5. The mirror has to be tilted down in order to be adjusted to all people.
