Accessibility in facilities is often driven by ADA and applicable state and local regulatory compliance (restrooms, entries, parking lots are main examples), but often not considered is the role of preventive maintenance in keeping accessibility on-target and on budget. PM teams are often the first to detect accessibility issues: loose handrails, deteriorated curb ramps or door hardware that exceeds allowable force. Training maintenance staff to recognize such conditions integrates accessibility into everyday operations. Creating an accessible maintenance checklist within existing facility software can formalize this process and documenting these results reduces future backlog and promotes continuous improvement. Industry data shows that unplanned retrofits typically cost 25-40% more than accessibility upgrades performed during scheduled maintenance work. Thus, when accessibility improvements become integrated into capital planning they not only support multiple facility objectives but reduce costs. Learn the details in this valuable presentation.
