Knowledge and expertise in the application and installation of mobility and orientation aids are essential so as not to create any new hazards, obstacles or barriers.
In the self-regulated industry of Disability Access, there is an absence of trained professionals, recognised learning and certified education pathways open to tradespersons and specialised applicators.
There is no legal or regulated training requirement for an installer of mobility aids, such as Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSIs), so there is a fair amount of 'hit-or-miss' installation and products.
This video journal details a lack of product knowledge, application and installation expertise, resulting in a tripping hazard with TGSIs. The TGSIs are also not level nor safely trafficable underfoot for persons with low vision.
