Does Your Business Have Enough Handrails? | Teems Electric

No matter what type of business you run, one thing is important for all—an exceptional customer experience. This experience can be provided in a number of ways.

It can be how you greet customers as they walk in the door. It can be how quickly you call a customer back or repair an issue. However, customer experience can also go beyond actually having contact with the customer.

Our team at Teems Electric wants you to think about how you can improve your customer experience just by the design of your building.

For instance, look around your building right now. Do you have handrails? As simple as it may seem, handrails can show your customers that you care about their safety.

Improving Customer Service Through Handrails

When designing the inside of your office building, you probably thought about the color on the walls, the design of the office furniture, wall art and other aesthetic factors. However, did you think about certain safety measures that should be involved in the design?

Let’s take a look at reasons why you should include handrails in your office building:

Assistance in Inclement Weather

While the sun might be out today, you never know when Mother Nature will strike. From severe rain to snow, there are times when the weather brings about slick conditions, which can cause people to have a higher risk of sliding and falling down slippery sidewalks and stairs.

Therefore, by placing handrails in and around your office building or store, you are giving customers a way to travel safely throughout your building and reducing the risk of falls and injuries.

Added Curb Appeal

While you might not think about it, handrails can certainly help keep customers safe, as well as add a fresh, new look to your space.

Our team at Teems Electric will work with you to make handrails more pleasing to the eye, as an extension of your decor.

ADA Compliance

One other key factor—and likely the most important factor—is considering whether your office or business has done enough to meet ADA requirements. Is your space a safe one for those with disabilities to navigate?

Handrails along stairs and even in the bathrooms can add an extra element of safety when a person is unsteady on his or her feet.
