The Robert Sauvé Research Institute for Health and Safety at Work (IRSST) aims to provide an online experience that is accessible to everyone, including people with special needs. The IRSST continuously works to improve the accessibility of its website to ensure that it meets Quebec accessibility standards.
Commitment to accessibility
The IRSST is committed to creating an inclusive online environment that allows everyone to browse, interact and fully benefit from the content on its website.
Compliance with standards
The IRSST strives to adhere to the accessibility standards set forth in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). These guidelines set the accessibility criteria for web content for people with disabilities.
Accessibility measures implemented
Here are some of the measures the IRSST plans to implement to improve and maintain the accessibility of its website:
- Content structure: A clear and consistent content structure is used to facilitate navigation using assistive technology.
- Alternative Descriptions: Descriptive alternative texts are provided for images so that people who are blind or have low vision can understand the visual content.
- Contrasts: The IRSST places particular emphasis on color contrasts, improving the readability of content for people with visual impairments or visual impairments.
- Keyboard Navigation: The website can be navigated using the keyboard, making navigation easier for people who cannot use a mouse.
- Descriptive Links: Descriptive links in the content should be descriptive to make it easier to understand the purpose of the links.
- Testing and Feedback: Accessibility testing is conducted periodically and the IRSST requests feedback from users to continually improve its website.
