On October 15th, international White Cane Day highlights the visibility and safety of blind and visually impaired individuals. Accessibility is also a vital topic in the construction sector.
Several manufacturers are developing solutions to make public spaces more inclusive. ZeeBoer supports them with smart specification services and structured product data.
The white cane is the symbol of independence for blind and partially sighted people. On White Cane Day, activities and events are organized throughout the Netherlands to raise awareness of the white cane and emphasize the importance of respect and understanding for people with visual impairments.
Blind and visually impaired people rely heavily on tactile and visual cues in public spaces. ZeeBoer clients such as Rubet / Securition, TG Lining, and Van Wylick Routegeleiding offer practical solutions in this area. Think of contrasting safety tiles, tactile lines, or markings that signal level changes or obstacles.
A proper specification ensures that the right products end up in the right place. Our clients offer their solutions via specification tools and configurators. With standards like RAW, STABU2 and NL-SfB, and clear descriptions of their systems, their products are more likely to be selected by designers.
It’s not just companies that cater directly to the visually impaired who contribute to accessibility. Suppliers of street furniture, paving, lighting, and signage can also make their products more inclusive. ZeeBoer is happy to help make these products more visible and accessible to all users.
