CEAC Risk Assessment & Mitigation 4

Question 1

A CEAC is asked to assess risk at a newly constructed parking garage. Which condition would constitute a 'safe harbor' from ADA complaints?

Accepted Answer

Compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design

Answer

Compliance with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design provides a safe harbor, meaning the facility is deemed to meet ADA requirements and is protected from complaints on those elements.

Question 2

Which type of risk is BEST addressed through staff training rather than physical modifications?

Accepted Answer

Locked accessible restroom requiring key from staff

Answer

When an accessible restroom is kept locked, training staff to promptly provide keys upon request is an effective administrative control, though physical removal of the lock barrier is preferable.

Question 3

In environmental access consulting, 'reasonable modification' under the ADA applies to:

Accepted Answer

Policies, practices, and procedures of public accommodations

Answer

The ADA requires public accommodations to make reasonable modifications to their policies, practices, and procedures to avoid discrimination, separate from the physical barrier removal requirement.

Question 4

A CEAC observes that a newly installed accessible route is blocked daily by deliveries. The BEST long-term mitigation is:

Accepted Answer

Establish a written delivery policy designating an alternate unloading zone and train all staff

Answer

A written policy with an alternate unloading zone and staff training addresses the systemic root cause, while signs alone are administrative controls that often fail without enforcement.

Question 5

Which ADA title governs accessibility risk in state and local government facilities such as courthouses and public schools?

Accepted Answer

Title II

Answer

Title II of the ADA covers state and local government entities, requiring program accessibility and prohibiting discrimination in all services, programs, and activities.
