Statement of Commitment to Accessibility

Powerhouse Controls is committed to providing a barrier-free environment for all stakeholders including our clients/customers, employees, job applicants, suppliers, and any visitors who may enter our premises, access our information, or use our services. As a company, we respect and uphold the requirements set forth under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, and its associated standards and regulations.

Powerhouse understands that we have a responsibility for ensuring a safe, dignified, and welcoming environment for everyone. We are committed to ensuring our organization’s compliance by incorporating accessibility legislation into our policies, procedures, training, and best practices. We will review these policies and practices annually, as organizational changes occur, or in anticipation of compliance deadlines. In addition, we will strive to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in a timely and effective manner.

Providing an accessible and barrier-free environment is a shared effort, and as an organization, Powerhouse is committed to working with the necessary parties to make accessibility for all a reality.

Standard practices within Powerhouse to promote services that are accessible to all include:

• Welcoming service dogs and encouraging people to utilize assistive devices (e.g., screen reader, listening device, cane, wheelchair)
• Having wheelchair accessible offices
• Communicating with people in a way that meets their needs (e.g., verbally, by phone, or email)
• Having accommodations (including accessible formats and communication supports) available upon request.
