Principal and alternative entrances

A principal entrance(s) and where provided, one entrance which is specifically for members of staff, and any associated lobby, should be accessible. However, where the space outside the principal or staff entrance is severely restricted, or the slope of the ground does not allow the means of access to the building to be provided in accordance with paragraph 2.2, an alternative accessible entrance, intended for general use, is acceptable, provided there is suitable internal access from that entrance to the principal and staff entrances. It is important to reduce any risks to people when entering a building, e.g. trip or slips, coming into contact with an open glazed door, etc.
