This white paper summarizes the impending pitfalls of installations and specifications that are performed by contractors and applicators of Tactile Indicators.  It boldly asks the question, “Who bares the Legal and Compliance responsibilities in this unregulated industry?”

The paper identifies six key, common shortcomings, for persons who may be potentially exposed and ultimately responsible for that which they specify, instruct or install.

 
Commission by DTAC and written by Christopher Bertacco, his 10 years experience in this field delivers a direct message to address these rarely discussed issues. With the wide spread acceptance of tactile indicators in Australia and given the application and often unnecessary over use of tactile indicators, one reader of the paper remark that it was “Refreshing, appropriate and timely”.

Complimentary reading and a greater tactile industry comment with contributions by industry leaders including Murray Mountain, Richard Bowman, Chris Porter and Dean Homicki, is contained within the THE ART OF TACTILE CERTIFICATION
