Appeal procedure

Anyone may request that a website, mobile application or any element thereof be made digitally accessible. One can also request information to be made available through an alternative means of access, for example, by reading a digitally unavailable document, describing the content of a film lacking an audio description, etc. .

The request should include the identity of the person making the request, an indication of which website or mobile application the request pertains to and contact method. If the person making the request requests information by means of an alternative means of access, he should also specify a way of presenting the information that is convenient for him.

The public entity should comply with the request as soon as possible and at the latest within 7 days from the date of the request. If this deadline cannot be met, the public entity shall immediately inform the person making the request when it will be possible to meet the request, which shall not be longer than 2 months from the date of the request.

Where digital accessibility cannot be provided, the public entity may propose an alternative means of accessing the information. Where the public entity refuses to comply with an accessibility request or to provide an alternative means of accessing information, the requesting entity may complain about the lack of digital accessibility of a website, a mobile application or an element of a website or mobile application. Once the above procedure has been exhausted, a request may also be made to the Ombudsman through the website https://www.rpo.gov.pl/.

Entrance

The main entrance to the building is equipped with an automatic door that opens once one enter the sensor area. The width of the door is 175 cm. An intercom is placed in front of the entrance to communicate with the fireman from the facility staff. The main entrance area does not have steps/stairs or ramps. The ground floor of the building is at outdoor ground level.

Corridors and passageways

The interior of the building is adapted to the movement of people with mobility impairments. Passageways and rooms are located on the same level, without thresholds. Communication between floors is ensured by lifts between levels -1 (underground garage/laboratories) and +5. The doors in the lifts are 100 cm wide. The buttons in the lifts have Braille markings. Voice announcements in some lifts are switched off. It is possible to switch them on if necessary. Internal doors are wide (above 90 cm) and can be opened manually. Handles and switches are located at standard heights.

Procedures

In situations where a person with a disability requires the assistance of a third party, this fact should be reported to the firefighter on duty. This can be done via intercoms located at the entrances to the building, reporting this fact at the main reception or directly to the firefighter (room 0.43). A firefighter on duty is a person trained in first aid, obliged to provide help.

Additional Assistance

In case of any additional assistance needed, please contact the firefighter on duty directly.

Bathrooms, toilets and changing rooms

Toilets for disabled people are located on each floor of the building. They are located near other toilets and marked with an information sign on the front door. These rooms are equipped with a summoning system. In the event of a hazardous situation in which the help of a third party is required, such need is signaled by pulling a marked rope located inside the room. This action generates an acoustic signal in the firefighter's room with information from which room the call is coming. The firefighter is obliged to investigate the situation and provide help. The cloakroom is shared by everyone. It is served by employees who collect and dispense clothes.

Additional adaptations

The classrooms do not have Braille signage. The interiors of the practice rooms/labs are mostly adapted for disabled people. The floor has no thresholds. Where there are platforms at the blackboards, they are equipped with ramps for wheelchairs. Classrooms and halls have sound systems (microphones, amplifiers, loudspeakers). Access to the assembly hall for wheelchair users is assured: 1. to room 0.06 from the ground floor. There are stands for the disabled within the hall on the same level. To the cathedral level - through the corridor on level -1, where one can take a lift. 2. to halls 0.03 and 0.03a - from the ground floor level. There are stands for the disabled within the hall on the same level. To the cathedral level - via the Lecture Demonstration Studio. Access is limited, the width of the access road at the narrowest point - 105 cm. It is not a public passage, it passes through rooms with restricted access for third parties. The adaptation of the Library to serve the special user is as follows: 1. the entrance to the Library is adapted for wheelchair users, i.e. a wide door (opened with a handle) without thresholds. There is free access to the book collection thanks to spacious rooms. The lending library, free access and reading rooms are all on one level, without any thresholds. In the open access area, the distance between the shelves allows access for a wheelchair. 2. There is a special mouse for visually impaired people with paresis. 3. We also have a Digital Touch HD magnifier for the visually impaired. There are no books for the visually impaired or the blind in the library. There is also no special computer station with an installed system for the blind and a reading device.
