Abstract

Examines the concept of accessibility for all, with particular emphasis on the problems that face people with a disability. Accessibility is inextricably linked with egress, and has been clarified as the opportunity for everyone to get to the entrance of a building, enter and move freely through it, using all the facilities as and when necessary, and to exit a building safely, particularly in an emergency situation.
