Accessibility Policy
Birnie Electric Accessibility Policy
The purpose of this policy is to provide every employee with the guidelines and training in accordance with the requirements of Ontario Regulations about how to interact and communicate with people who have various types of disability.
These include people who use assistive devices, have the assistance of either a service animal or support person, and/or use support equipment or devices on our premises. This policy enables us to provide the proper aid to a person with a disability who is having difficulty accessing goods or services that we provide.
Our Commitment

Further, we strive to ensure that all employees are comfortable and prepared to provide services to those customers, partners, and suppliers with disabilities fairly and with respect.
Our Compliance
This policy applies to every employee and partner who deals with customers or other members of the public on behalf of the company in Ontario, whether the person is a full-time, part-time, or a contract employee.
