Austact tactile solution by Global Safe Technologies at Westfield
Before.
This Westfield shopping centre in Sydney's Northern suburbs had tactile
ground surface indicators installed a couple of years ago. Management was concerned about
the tactiles as they had been installed with some different types, they had become
slippery, causing alarm as they were posing a slip and fall risk, some were missing
and the un-sightly nature of the area meant they needed to solve all issues. As they were,
the tactiles were nullifying the original reason they were installed in the first place,
assisting the visually impaired in compliance with the relevant AS/ NZS 1428-4 2002
disability standard.
After talking to Global Safe Technologies management decided to get the existing tactiles
removed and replaced with the properly installed - no glue or epoxy is required - tactile
ground surface indicators. The Austact product's proven sustainability and use of
environmentally friendly and recyclable materials along with Global Safe's installation
expertise also contributed to the decision.
The removal and installation was done in the evening and after hours causing absolute
minimum inconvenience to the shopping centre clients. After the job had been completed
management expressed it's satisfaction with not only with the quality of the job but also
the professionalism, cleanlinness and attitude of the Global Safe Staff.
The shopping centre is also taking up the industry unique, Floor Safety Maintanence Program
(FSMP) which is also offered to them as part of the solution, to ensure that the solution
provided will remain intact now and in the future. Global Safe offers this service at no
additional cost to clients.
