Assistive devices
People with disabilities may use their personal assistive devices when accessing our goods, services, or facilities.
In cases where the assistive device presents a significant and unavoidable health or safety concern or may not be permitted for other reasons, other measures will be used to ensure the person with a disability can access our goods, services, or facilities.
We will ensure that our staff are trained and familiar with various assistive devices we have on-site or that we provide that may be used by customers with disabilities while accessing our goods, services, or facilities.
Communication
We will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that consider their disability.
We will work with the person with a disability to determine what method of communication works for them.
Service animals
We welcome people with disabilities and their service animals. Service animals are allowed on the parts of our premises that are open to the public.
When we cannot easily identify that an animal is a service animal, our staff may ask a person to provide documentation (template, letter, or form) from a regulated health professional that confirms the person needs the service animal for reasons relating to their disability.
A service animal can be easily identified through visual indicators, such as when it wears a harness or a vest, or when it helps the person perform certain tasks.
If service animals are prohibited by another law, we will do the following to ensure people with disabilities can access our goods, services, or facilities:
- Explain why the animal is excluded.
- Discuss with the customer another way of providing goods, services, or facilities.
Support persons
A person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person accompany them on our premises.
In certain cases, READY SET EXEC might require a person with a disability to be accompanied by a support person for the health or safety reasons of:
- the person with a disability
- others on the premises
Before making a decision, READY SET EXEC will:
- consult with the person with a disability to understand their needs.
- consider health or safety reasons based on available evidence.
- determine if there is no other reasonable way to protect the health or safety of the person or others on the premises.
Notice of temporary disruption
In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to services or facilities for customers with disabilities, READY SET EXEC will notify customers promptly. This clearly posted notice will include information about the reason for the disruption, its anticipated length of time, and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available.
