This talk is part of the 'Building Accessibility' series and discusses the need to provide an inclusive approach to building design and evacuation planning, to meet the needs of all occupants. Australian society is changing, we are living longer, extending our working lives and increasingly making our homes in taller buildings. Additionally, in 2011 building and disability legislation changed to make it mandatory to provide fully accessible workplaces and public spaces. However, the need to get everybody out in an emergency has generally been overlooked. This presentation argues a case to develop the concept of egressability to go hand in hand with accessibility.

This talk is part of the 'Building Accessibility' series. The one hour talk discusses the need to provide a luminance contrast between architectural features in premises. The presentation also provides an overview of the free Luminance Contrast Assessment Tool (LCAT) developed by Access Central (part of the Egress Group). The LCAT is available from https://luminancecontrast.net.au. Suitable for anyone responsible for specifying architectural products, certifying designs or checking compliance.
