Tech Labels is committed to working towards full compliance with the accessibility standards outlined by the Accessibility for Ontarian with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA), and other related legislation. Tech labels will take all appropriate measures to ensure our policies and practices are fair and accessible.
Tech Labels is committed to providing a barrier-free environment for all our clients, employees, job applicants, suppliers and any visitors who may enter our premises. We will provide services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities. Our plan outlines the steps we are taking to meet those requirements and to improve opportunities for people with disabilities
Tech Labels is committed to:
Accessibility Policy
Tech Labels has developed, implemented, and maintained an Accessibility Policy that highlights our commitment and guidelines to creating barrier-free workplace. This policy ensures that each level of the organization is inclusive and accessible.
Training
All staff from each level are trained in accessible work practices. Tech Labels provides employees with training related to Accessibility Standards and diversity to ensure these values are upheld.
Emergency Response
Tech Labels will, if necessary, create individualized workplace emergency response plans for employees with disabilities. This plan will ensure that any employee with a disability will be provided assistance from a support person during an emergency. Where required, two employees on each shift will be designated as support people to ensure there is always someone on site to provide assistance.
Accommodation
Tech Labels will provide individual accommodation to support the needs of employees with disabilities and take a collaborative approach with the employees and applicable professionals throughout the process.
Return to Work
Tech Labels will work with employees that have been absent from work due to a disability and develop an individualized return to work plan. We will also provide support to the employee in the transition period by addressing any barriers. If accommodation cannot be met in their current position, Tech Labels will consider placing the employee in an alternative position somewhere else in the company.
Customer Service
Tech Labels is committed to customer service excellence and will provide barrier free access to the company’s goods and services for all customers. Where it is not possible to remove barriers, alternative means for accessing goods and services will be provided at the best of the company’s abilities. Tech Labels will support all customers accompanied by a support person to ensure both parties may enter the premises safely together. Also, Tech Labels will do its best to provide accessible types of communication and information to individuals with disabilities.
Emergency Notifications
Tech Labels will provide emergency and safety information, plans and procedures, maps and warning signs at evacuation points, and any other emergency alert information, in accessible formats or with appropriate communication supports, upon request. Tech Labels will ensure emergency information can be seen, read, and heard by anyone.
Disruption of Services
Tech Labels will post a notice of service disruption on the office door should the occasion arise. All guests are met at the door where the notice will be posted and will have the ability to request an alternative form of communication before entering the building.
Conclusion
Tech Labels is committed to the prevention, identification, and removal of accessibility barriers. The Multi-Year Accessibility Plan will be monitored and updated as required.
