The checklist covers different types of disabilities. I think it should also include a question about the presence of accessible signs.

I would agree about the need for a question about accessible/alternative signage for people with disabilities. I would also include in the 'air quality' question something about temperature and the options for adapting it for personal needs. I would also include a question about safety precautions (grab bars in restrooms, handrails along walls, well-marked steps and curbs in and around the building, etc.).
