Statement of Commitment

In keeping with the GINCOR WERX’s Corporate Business Principles, it is our objective to create and maintain an integrated climate of equal opportunity and mutual respect. We believe in treating all people, including our employees, customers and partners, in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. Flowing from this belief, we are committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities in a timely manner.

The purpose of this Multi-Year Accessibility Plan (the “Plan”) is to identify the policies and actions that GINCOR WERX will implement through to 2021 in order to prevent and remove barriers to accessibility in its operations and to satisfy its obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 and the regulations made there-under (the “Act”). This plan is reviewed on an annual basis.

Accessibility Policies

GINCOR WERX has developed and implemented a variety of accessibility policies designed to meet the needs of people with disabilities. As required, we will review and update these policies on an ongoing basis, in order to ensure that we are meeting our accessibility commitments and the requirements of the Act. GINCOR WERX’s accessibility policies are available to the public, upon request, including in accessible formats. Please contact us for more information.

Accessible Emergency Information

GINCOR WERX is committed to providing its customers and clients with publicly available emergency information in an accessible way upon request. We will also provide employees with disabilities with individualized emergency response information when requested.

Training

GINCOR WERX believes that its accessibility commitments can only be fully achieved when its employees and those acting on its behalf, have a clear understanding of the issues faced by people with disabilities. GINCOR WERX will take the appropriate and required steps to ensure employees are provided with the training needed to meet Ontario’s accessible laws by January 1, 2015.

• At a minimum, the training will be provided to all Ontario employees and those acting on GINCOR WERX’s behalf in Ontario
• Consideration will be given to whether the training needs to be modified depending on the recipient’s function within the organization.
• Training will be updated on an ongoing basis as new employees join the organization and as policies evolve.
