New BP service stations in South Australia have installed the latest Carekit toilet product packages from Enware Australia to meet the accessibility requirements of Australian Standard AS1428.1-2009.
“BP service stations often had only one accessible toilet, without hot water going into it. Our modified Carekit provided an attractive, practical solution that complies with AS1428.1-2009,” said Enware South Australian sales manager Peter Cerone.
The first new BP station to be fitted with the Carekit was BP On The Run in Belair, Adelaide. Since then, five more have opened. Further new BP service stations are expected in the next 12 months.
The IFO 6861 Sign toilets in the Carekits are specially designed for aged care facilities, hospitals, schools, nursing homes and public areas.
They have increased seat height for ease of sitting and a seamless cistern that acts as both reservoir and backrest, thus complying with the standard that requires accessible toilets to be fitted with a backrest. The toilets are also set out from the wall, for disability access and have a SGR013 stainless steel, continuous grab rail for users who might have difficulties in sitting down or getting to their feet.
The IFO 7752 Sign basin with built-in shelf is a smooth, compact basin with a raised rear edge and a choice of left or right shelf. It can be cabinet mounted or wall mounted with brackets.
The LEVA 150 tapware included in the Carekits are robust Australian-made taps, designed for optimum hygiene and ergonomic performance in demanding applications. Its longer-levered format, designed for hands-free operation, permits elbow lever-activation to help reduce the risk of cross contamination.
“The packages are cost efficient, with a definite price advantage. They also look neat and normal, without the appearance of a disability toilet, which is a big advantage,” said Mr Cerone.
“We’re very pleased to have the privilege of supplying the Carekits to BP service stations. It affirms our belief that the Carekits are the right solution for meeting the disability access requirements in public facilities.”
