Management was concerned about the tactiles as they had been installed with some different types, they had become slippery, causing alarm as they were posing a slip and fall risk, some were missing and the un-sightly nature of the area meant they needed to solve all issues. As they were, the tactiles were  nullifying the original reason they were installed in the first place, assisting the visually impaired in compliance with the relevant AS/ NZS 1428-4 2002 disability standard.

After talking to Global Safe Technologies management decided to get the existing tactiles removed and replaced with the properly installed – no glue or epoxy is required – tactile ground surface indicators. The Austact product’s proven sustainability and use of environmentally friendly and recyclable materials along with Global Safe’s  installation expertise also contributed to the decision.  

The removal and installation was done in the evening and after hours causing absolute minimum inconvenience to the shopping centre clients.
After the job had been completed management expressed it’s satisfaction with not only with the quality of the job but also the professionalism, cleanlinness and attitude of the Global Safe Staff.

The shopping centre is also taking up the industry unique, Floor Safety Maintanence Program (FSMP) which is also offered to them as part of the solution, to ensure that the solution provided will remain intact now and in the future.

Global Safe offers this service at no additional cost to clients.
