Do you have any guidance on making sure a workplace is safe for people with sight loss?
Carrying out a risk assessment of the workplace or an activity for blind or partially sighted people doesn't have to be difficult, but it can sometimes be a daunting prospect. If you haven't worked with blind people before, it can be very easy to over-estimate risks or make assumptions about what blind people can or can't do.
Information and guidance on areas such as lighting, mobility, guide dogs in the work place, using machinery and trip hazards can be found on RNIB's Work-based assessments webpage.
