Deaf Awareness in the workplace-8

Tip 8 - Clear line of sight 

It is best to remove objects that are on tables, obstructing the view between you and the Deaf person (flowers, menu cards, stacked trays for incoming mail, etc). Ideally a Deaf person should have a place of work, (desk, workstation, workbench) which allows them to see the rest of the room and other people working there. It is a bad idea to be facing the wall. It should be well lit but not facing the sun. People who come to the desk should have the light on their faces not behind their heads.
