Accessibility Policy
Committed to Accessible and Inclusive Service
Weber Contracting Ltd. is committed to providing an accessible environment for our clients, employees, applicants, partners, and members of the public.
We work to identify, prevent, and remove accessibility barriers in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation, and the Ontario Human Rights Code.
Our Commitment
We strive to provide our services in ways that respect the dignity, independence, integration, and equal opportunity of people with disabilities.
Accessibility is considered in how we communicate, provide services, share information, recruit employees, and interact with the public.
Accessible Customer Service
We are committed to providing people with disabilities with the same opportunity to access our services as other customers.
Our team will communicate respectfully and consider each person’s individual accessibility needs when providing assistance.
Communication
We will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that consider their individual needs.
When requested, we will work with the person to determine the most appropriate and effective method of communication.
Assistive Devices
People with disabilities may use their personal assistive devices when accessing our services or facilities.
If an assistive device cannot be used because of legal, health, or safety requirements, we will work with the individual to find another reasonable way to provide access.
Service Animals
Service animals are welcome in areas of our premises that are open to the public, unless they are excluded by law.
If a service animal is legally excluded from an area, we will explain the reason and work with the individual to provide another way to access our services.
Support Persons
People with disabilities may be accompanied by a support person when accessing our services.
If a support person is required for health or safety reasons, we will consult with the individual before making that decision.

Upon request, Weber Contracting will provide or arrange accessible formats and communication supports for publicly available information.
We will consult with the person making the request and provide the information in a timely manner at no additional cost.
