To make using this website a positive experience for all users, we endeavor to conform to the Website Content Accessibility Guidelines in the design, testing and development of our website. We strive to continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to our website.

Current Compliance Status

We acknowledge that our website is not yet fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other accessibility guidelines such as WCAG 2.2. We are aware of certain specific accessibility issues and are committed to rectifying these as soon as possible.

Plans for Improvement

We are taking the following steps to improve accessibility of the Siemon Company website:

1. Assessment: Conducting thorough accessibility audits to identify areas for improvement.
2. Identification: We have identified accessibility issues within the following areas of the website:
   • Forms: Forms are controlled via third party software and inserted via an iframe. This can cause some issues with keyboard navigation and screenreader use.
   • Maps: Maps are controlled via third party software and inserted via an iframe. This can cause some issues with keyboard navigation and screenreader use.
   • Links: There are some links within the site that do not have sufficient descriptions so will cause issues for screen readers.
   • Images: There are some images within the site that do not have sufficient alt text so will cause issues for screen readers.
   • Page organization: Where possible headings should follow the correct hierarchical structure to aid page understanding for screenreader users. We are aware of pages where headings do not follow the correct format.
   • PDFs: Not all PDFs are fully accessible.
   • eCatalog: The Siemon eCatalog is displayed via iframe and as such can cause keyboard and screenreader issues when navigating.
3. Training: Providing ongoing training to the Siemon team on web accessibility best practices and how to manage the website in accordance with accessibility guidelines.
4. Implementation: Making all necessary changes to enhance accessibility.
5. Testing: Incorporating accessibility testing into regular website maintenance and updates, inline with evolving accessibility guidelines.
