Braille - Disabled (Symbol) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Braille & Tactile Disabled (Symbol) sign is an important accessibility feature designed to assist visually impaired individuals in identifying accessible facilities, such as disabled toilets, entrances, or designated seating areas. The inclusion of raised tactile text and the international symbol of access ensures the sign can be understood both visually and by touch.

This type of signage plays a crucial role in promoting independence and dignity for people with disabilities. By providing vital information through both sight and touch, it helps users confidently navigate public spaces, workplaces, and facilities without the need for assistance, fostering a more inclusive environment.

Braille and tactile signs are also essential for meeting accessibility standards and legal requirements, such as those outlined in the Equality Act or building codes in many countries. Installing these signs demonstrates a commitment to compliance and ensures your space is usable by everyone, including those with visual impairments.

Beyond legal obligations, using inclusive signage reinforces a message of equality and respect. It sends a strong signal that your organisation values accessibility and is taking active steps to remove barriers, creating a more welcoming and safe space for all.
