Thumbs Up! and Built Environment Audits
BDB has created the Thumbs Up! program which provides built environment audits to assist businesses and organizations in creating an inclusive workplace.
How it Works
A business or organization contacts our office and we set up a time for a on-site visit. We will provide a consultation that includes AODA based recommendations to implement. During on-site evaluations and recommendations, we consider various factors, including but not restricted to:
- Parking
- Building entrances
- Route of travel and walking surfaces
- Ramps, curb-cuts, and curb-ramps
- Clear floor space for wheelchair maneuverability
- Protruding objects
Once accessibility features have been implemented we will return and reward the business/organization a ThumbsUp! decal, a review on the AccessNow app & public recognition for their accessibility.
To learn more or to book your onsite audit, please contact us at: programcoordinator@bdbilrc.ca
