Is there enough clear space for a wheelchair?
d
A man in a wheelchair is reaching forward trying to work at a desk with insufficient under-desk clearance.
Counters, tables and work surfaces need to have enough clear space to accommodate a wheelchair. This is illustrated with an image of a man in a wheelchair sitting at a corner desk. The man's wheelchair footrests hit the legs of the desk and he is not able to pull up close enough to the desk. He is reaching out to access the papers on a sorting tray but is unable to reach because his wheelchair is too far back. This standard also applies to training facilities and meeting rooms.
