Use our pictures to increase the visibility of your accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help you evaluate, signal, and improve accessibility for the benefit of the community, we provide our series of pictograms free of charge. They are designed to offer a clear and immediate visual cue regarding the comfort and usage level of an infrastructure or service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before placing one of these pictograms<\/strong> on a space or project, and to prevent them from being misused and becoming effectively counterproductive, we ask you to carefully study the signage installation process<\/a> and to systematically reach out to a local specialized association<\/a>, rather than relying solely on a single person with a disability in your social circle (…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful, for instance, not to forget\u2014as you can see on the Obstructed view<\/a> page\u2014that during crowded events, signage cannot be placed at the height of a standing adult, but must be positioned well above to allow shorter individuals to clearly see the useful information (more info)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Proceed in order<\/strong> and start by integrating the pictograms intended for layout and access plans<\/a> (A like Arrive<\/a><\/strong>) so that people can anticipate any difficulties they might still encounter if everything you can learn on this site is not fully put into practice, or if, for example, the site’s incline is too steep. Detailed explanations of the different types of signage are or will be described across the various APEMUE pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have downloaded<\/strong> the various documents, all that is left for you to do is have them printed or, even better, to avoid unnecessary costs, print them in A3 and laminate them in 125 or 150 microns (for outdoor use). Please note that the most affordable machines do not necessarily allow sheets thicker than 125 microns to be heated properly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e9l\u00e9chargez nos pictogrammes d’accessibilit\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pour vous aider \u00e0 \u00e9valuer, signaler et faire progresser l\u2019accessibilit\u00e9 au profit de la collectivit\u00e9, nous mettons gratuitement \u00e0 votre disposition nos s\u00e9ries de pictogrammes. Ils sont con\u00e7us pour offrir un rep\u00e8re visuel clair et imm\u00e9diat sur le niveau de confort et d’usage d’une infrastructure ou d’un service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avant d’apposer l’un de ces pictogrammes<\/strong> sur un espace ou un projet, afin d’\u00e9viter qu’ils ne soient mal utilis\u00e9s et qu’ils soient de fait contre-productifs, nous vous demandons de bien \u00e9tudier le process destin\u00e9 \u00e0 l’installation de la signal\u00e9tique<\/a> et de faire syst\u00e9matiquement appel \u00e0 une association locale sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e<\/a><\/strong>, et non pas \u00e0 une seule personne en situation de handicap de votre entourage (…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention par exemple \u00e0 ne pas oublier, comme vous pouvez le voir dans la page Obstructed view<\/a>, que lors d’une affluence de personnes, la signal\u00e9tique ne peut \u00eatre mise \u00e0 hauteur d’un adulte debout mais bien au-del\u00e0, afin de permettre aux personnes plus basses de bien bien voir l’information utile (plus d’infos)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Proc\u00e9dez dans l’ordre<\/strong> et commencez par int\u00e9grer les pictogrammes destin\u00e9s aux plans d’implantation et d’acc\u00e8s<\/a> (A like Arrive<\/a><\/strong>) afin que les personnes puissent anticiper les difficult\u00e9s qu’elles pourraient encore rencontrer si tout ce que vous pourrez apprendre dans ce site n’est pas mis totalement en pratique ou si, par exemple, le d\u00e9nivel\u00e9 du site est trop important. Les explications d\u00e9taill\u00e9es des diff\u00e9rentes signal\u00e9tiques sont ou seront d\u00e9crites dans les diff\u00e9rentes pages de l’APEMUE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir t\u00e9l\u00e9charg\u00e9<\/strong> les diff\u00e9rents documents, il ne vous restera qu’\u00e0 les faire imprimer ou mieux encore, pour vous \u00e9viter des frais inutiles, de les imprimer en A3 et de les plastifier en 125 ou 150 microns (pour l’ext\u00e9rieur). Attention, les machines les plus abordables ne permettent pas forc\u00e9ment de chauffer les feuilles de plus de 125 microns.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
