This accessibility plan outlines the strategy of Safyre Labs to prevent and remove barriers for people with disabilities and comply with the requirements of the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation under the Accessibility for Ontarian's with Disabilities Act, 2005.
Safyre Labs is committed to providing an accessible environment for all clients, employees, job applicants, suppliers, and visitors who may enter our premises, access our information, or use our services. As an organization, we respect and comply with the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarian's with Disabilities Act, 2005, and its associated regulations.
