Automatic Doors / Push Pads
Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?
Overview

For Employees
If heavy fire doors stop you moving around the office freely, Access to Work can pay for push-button openers.
For Employers
If an employee is trapped in one zone because a door is too heavy, that is a failure to adjust. Install push pads.
Key Considerations
- Access to Work can fund.
- Retrofit push pads.
