Section 4 contains scoping requirements. Section 4.1.1, Application,
provides that all areas of newly designed or newly constructed buildings
and facilities and altered portions of existing buildings and facilities
required to be accessible by Sec. 4.1.6 must comply with the guidelines
unless otherwise provided in Sec. 4.1.1 or a special application
section. It addresses areas used only by employees as work areas,
temporary structures, and general exceptions.
Section 4.1.1(3) preserves the basic principle of the proposed rule:
Areas that may be used by employees with disabilities shall be designed
and constructed so that an individual with a disability can approach,
enter, and exit the area. The language has been clarified to provide
that it applies to any area used only as a work area (not just to areas
that may be used by employees with disabilities), and that the
guidelines do not require that any area used as an individual work
station be designed with maneuvering space or equipped to be accessible.
The appendix to ADAAG explains that work areas must meet the guidelines'
requirements for doors and accessible routes, and recommends, but does
not require, that 5% of individual work stations be designed to permit a
person using a wheelchair to maneuver within the space.
Further discussion of work areas is found in the preamble concerning
proposed Sec. 36.401(b).
Section 4.1.1(5)(a) includes an exception for structural
impracticability that corresponds to the one found in Sec. 36.401(c)
and discussed in that portion of the preamble.
