[civsa] Wheelchair use

Thu Jun 12 17:03:33 CDT 2014

We also have been told we can't own a wheelchair due to liability. If anyone has had luck working with their risk/legal department to create a waiver I would love to see a copy and chat.

Hello All,

I am wondering if anyone does an e-newsletter that is sent regularly to faculty and staff about the visit programs happening on campus? I was thinking of doing a monthly recap that would go out? Visit stats, locations of visitors, etc...

I'm thinking that it would highlight which faculty were helpful and would maybe entice some other faculty into helping when they see the recognition that their staff members are receiving?

If you have one, can you share your thoughts and or latest issue?

Thank you,

Hi CiVSA,

We are currently re-evaluating how we assist guests with mobility issues.  Do any of you have a wheelchair that you loan to guests? If so, would you please provide answers to the following questions?

  1.  What is your process for guests acquiring the wheelchair?
  2.  How often does the wheelchair get utilized?
  3.  Do you offer a wheelchair option when your guests are at alternate locations (such as on an event day)?
  4.  Any other thoughts on the issue?

Thanks!
Christy

Hello Christy, 

We are located in an urban environment with steep hills and quite a few stairs. When I arrived to UW Tacoma, I asked these exact questions. I was surprised to learn that due to liability, we cannot and do not loan wheelchairs. If someone requires an alternate tour route, we can make that accommodation, but we cannot offer the actual wheelchair. I suggest you check-in with your risk management office for their insight. 

Best, 

Megan
