20 Aug 2024 by Classic Architectural Group
The Australian Standards AS/NZS 1428.4.1:2009 outlines the application of tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs) to ensure compliance in commercial environments.
Covering directional and warning tactiles, TGSIs are a crucial safety and access feature installed to provide visually impaired individuals with orientational cues and alerts of impending hazards.
