SECHRIST INDUSTRIES ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
At Sechrist Industries, we believe everyone deserves a seamless and inclusive experience on our website. We are committed to making our website accessible to people of all abilities, including those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities.
We are actively working to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. This means we are constantly striving to improve the usability of our website for everyone.
Further to this, we are committed in the following ways:
-
A commitment to ongoing accessibility: Express your dedication to constant improvement and accessibility updates.
-
Specific examples of accessibility features: Highlight features like keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, or alt text examples.
-
Feedback mechanism: Encourage users to report any accessibility barriers they encounter.
-
Accessibility compliance standards: Specify which WCAG standards your website adheres to (e.g., WCAG 2.1 AA).
-
Alternative formats: Offer alternative ways to access information, such as downloadable PDFs or transcripts for videos.
Here are some of the steps we have taken to make our website more accessible:
-
Alternative text for images: We provide descriptive alternative text for all images on our website. This helps people who use screen readers understand the content of the images.
-
Keyboard navigation: Our website is designed to be fully navigable using the keyboard. This allows people who use assistive technologies, such as joysticks or head pointers, to navigate the website without using a mouse.
-
Color contrast: We use high-contrast colors for our text and backgrounds. This makes our website easier to read for people with visual impairments.
-
Headings and labels: We use clear and concise headings and labels to structure our content. This makes our website easier to understand and navigate for people with cognitive disabilities.

Accessible forms: Our forms are designed to be accessible to people with motor impairments. This includes features such as keyboard navigation and error messages that are clearly explained.
-
Screen reader compatibility: We test our website with commonly used screen readers to ensure that it is compatible.
