Universal Washroom

Is AODA Applicable To Me?

If you answered yes to any of the following questions, you are subject to the AODA. You may check

Do you offer goods, services, or facilities?

Do you provide lodging?

Do you own a building or premise that others use?

Do you hire any people from Ontario

To comply with the act, you should improve your handicap washroom facilities and install universal washrooms in the building.

What Conditions Must I Satisfy?

• All public access corridors must have highly visible fire alarms, and all smoke alarms in residential situations must also be visible.

• Elevators or otherwise barrier-free access should be provided between stories in every building.

• At a variety of structures, automatic or power door operators are available.

• Everyone has easy access to swimming pools, spas, and other places.

• Public seating areas with easy access in theatres, town halls, and places of worship

• Barrier-free washrooms and toilet facilities.

The size of the building you possess or what your future intentions are for the building you own or manage will all depend on this. These specifications must be kept in mind when constructing new structures, and this will be reflected in the blueprints and design. If you own or oversee a facility that is preparing for significant renovations, you must take these new standards into account. Anything bigger than 300 square feet is considered a major renovation. You shouldn’t worry about following these rules if the building is not having any repairs or if the modifications are smaller than 300 square feet.
