Ramp
A sloped surface designed to provide easy access for individuals, especially those with mobility challenges, including wheelchair users, people with disabilities, or those who find it difficult to use stairs.
Key Features of School Ramps:
Gradual Slope: A gentle incline ensures safety and ease of use.
Handrails: Installed on both sides to provide additional support.
Non-Slip Surface: Materials that offer traction to prevent slipping, especially in wet conditions.
Landing Areas: Flat platforms at intervals (especially for longer ramps) and at the top and bottom for resting or turning.
Width: Sufficient width to accommodate wheelchairs and assistive devices.
Importance of Ramps in School:
Promotes Inclusivity: Ensures that students, staff, and visitors with disabilities can access all parts of the school.
Safety: Provides an alternative to stairs, reducing the risk of accidents for those with limited mobility.
