Is Your Ramp Actually Compliant?
Ramps fail on site more often than they fail on paper. A drawing may show a 1:14 gradient, but the built result can exceed it once landings are squeezed, handrails stop short, or a door swings into the clear width.
This short walk-through flags the AS 1428 basics that decide whether a ramp is actually usable: gradient, landings, handrails and clear width — before a late defect notice or a complaint forces a rebuild.
Use it as a quick sense-check for design teams and builders. For a fuller technical note, see our accessible ramp design article.
