Working environment - mobility:
To get to work, the employee uses his car with automatic transmission, which has manual controls for the accelerator and brake on the right-hand side. The entrance to the building is at ground level near the disabled parking area. The office is located on the mezzanine floor, between the ground floor and the first floor. The lift takes you from the ground floor to the first floor - the mezzanine floor cannot be reached by lift. A stair lift with platform was therefore installed for the employee to negotiate the stairs between the mezzanine and first floor (Fig. 1-3). The stair lift with platform also enables the employee to reach the toilet suitable for disabled people on the first floor from the office or mezzanine floor with a wheelchair.
