Oh wow, let's all try to get in the next "Hell's Kitchen" if they do it again - imagine Marco Pierre White (or whoever's) face!
We can't be any more dangerous than some of the idiots on there.

Subject: Commercial kitchens
I have had sight of an email from a kitchen designer who says:
"Commercial kitchens are excluded from the DDA regs due to the dangerous
nature of the equipment.
A wheelchair bound or sight impaired person would be a danger to
themselves and their colleagues in this environment.
Disabled people are inly [sic] employed for admin tasks for this reason"
For obvious reasons, myself and my colleagues have taken issue with this
email. However, does anyone know if commercial kitchens actually do have
exeption from the DDA regs? As far as I can tell, the only reason that a
disabled person would be in any more danger is because the kitchen itself
has been poorly designed and not taken any potential adjustments (e.g
additional manoeuvring space, lowered counters )into account. Is there
any way that the above statement could be justified?
