Accessible hygiene solutions: Inclusion through adapted disinfection systems

Ensure unrestricted access to hand sanitizer for everyone in your building. Accessible sanitizing stations are an essential component of an inclusive infrastructure. They are specifically designed to be used safely, comfortably, and independently by wheelchair users, people with mobility impairments, or visual impairments.

Accessibility according to standards: Disinfection columns for people with disabilities

In public buildings, hospitals, and care facilities, compliance with accessibility standards (such as DIN 18040) is legally mandated. Disinfection stations for people with disabilities are characterized by optimized ergonomics. The dispensing height of the disinfectant is designed for easy access from a seated wheelchair. Furthermore, these stations offer sufficient clearance underneath or are positioned so as not to restrict movement while simultaneously providing maximum stability.

Key features of inclusive disinfection stations:

Optimal operating height: Placement of sensors or levers between 85 cm and 105 cm.
Touchless activation: A disinfectant dispenser with a sensor makes it easier to use for people with limited fine motor skills.
High-contrast design: Improved visibility for people with visual impairments through targeted color selection.
Stability: Particularly flat but heavy base plates that do not pose an obstacle for wheelchair wheels.

Technology that supports – inclusion without compromise

To make operation as intuitive as possible, a touchless disinfection column is usually the best choice for integrated concepts. The infrared sensor reacts instantly and requires no effort, which is particularly advantageous in nursing homes or rehabilitation centers. Our models made of robust stainless steel not only guarantee durability but also meet all clinical hygiene requirements. Thanks to compatibility with the Euro bottle standard, you can use commercially available disinfectants and remain flexible in your operations.

💡 Pro tip: Combine disinfection columns for people with disabilities with acoustic or tactile cues (e.g., Braille on the housing). This enables blind or visually impaired people to orient themselves and use the hygiene station independently.

FAQ: Accessible hygiene in detail

Is a foot-operated control suitable for people with disabilities?
In inclusive settings, we advise against foot-operated dispensers , as these are not usable for wheelchair users. Sensor dispensers are a more universal solution in these cases.

How much space needs to be planned in front of the column?
For comfortable use by wheelchair users, a maneuvering area of at least 150 cm x 150 cm should be kept clear in front of the disinfection column .

Are there any special wall mounts available as an alternative?
Yes, we also offer wall-mounted models that can be installed at the correct ergonomic height to ensure maximum legroom and clearance underneath.
