Mobile forms for facilities management: Achieve compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act

Promo for "Mobile Forms and ADA Compliance"

ADA

Compliance has different meanings for different organizations. For facility managers, it may mean providing a high level of service quality for tenants while complying with various federal, state, and local regulations.

Your facility may have to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. All government facilities at the state and local levels are subject to the ADA. In the private sector, ADA standards apply to places of public accommodation – such as stores, restaurants, and places of education – and commercial facilities – such as office buildings, factories, and warehouses.

According to FacilitiesNet, common ADA violations include steep curb ramps, a lack of parking areas with marked signage, improperly mounted toilets, and the placing of garbage cans next to restroom doors and in front of elevator call buttons, both of which impede the progress of people using wheelchairs.

Here are a few ways FM professionals can leverage mobile technology to achieve compliance with the ADA:

  • Use compliance forms to ensure entry ways, bathroom stalls, signage, and elevators are in compliance with the ADA
  • Capture photos and annotate on top to highlight existing non-compliant areas in need of upgrades
  • Use ProntoForms and Spike, a smart laser measurement tool, to quickly measure areas that require service or to ensure that existing areas have sufficient clearance. Effortlessly integrate results into mobile work orders
  • If new construction is required to achieve compliance, teams can easily create and submit accurate mobile work orders and estimates to ensure that crucial projects begin as soon as possible
  • Instantly submit forms to a back-office system to provide an auditable record of completed inspections and maintenance

Today’s facility manager must meet strict regulatory standards and SLAs while juggling an array of daily responsibilities, maintaining aging assets and infrastructure, and facing pressure to cut costs and complete more work with fewer resources. But that doesn’t mean compliance has to suffer. Mobile workflows are empowering FM professionals to create and maintain environments that are safe and accessible for all tenants.

ProntoForms will be attending the National Facilities Management and Technology Conference & Exposition (NFMT) in Baltimore this March. We’ll present an informative session, “The Facility Manager of Tomorrow: How Mobility & IoT Are Transforming the Industry,” on March 7 at 10 a.m. in room 347. Discover how mobile data collection platforms, coupled with intuitive Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, are empowering FM professionals to tackle the seemingly overwhelming challenges facing today’s industry.
