Technology makes these workplace accommodations easy.
Be sure to keep all walkways clear of obstructions. Inform your employees with low vision (and your customers) of any physical changes, such as rearranged furniture or moved equipment.
Important: Push chairs in at a table when you are done using them, this keeps them from being a tripping hazard.
Technology makes these workplace accommodations easy.
- Most people with low vision have an easier time reading bold white letters on a black background.
- Avoid using small Caps or all Caps, as this makes reading more difficult.
- Using a clear font with appropriate spacing is just as important as the font size.
- Labels and signs should be clearly lettered using contrasting colours.
