BARRIERS

As part of our commitment to accessibility, FPL has looked for ways to improve accessibility at our site and in our operations, and have implemented the following policies, practices, and improvements to create an accessible environment.

Employment

  • Barriers have not been identified.

The Built Environment

FPL recognizes the important of having a physically accessible building and has recently constructed a new head office and hangar space which is designed to be barrier free, including:

  1. Single level construction.
  2. Accessibility ramp and push-button door openers.
  3. An accessible washroom stall in each washroom.
  4. Light switches, fob readers, thermostats, emergency equipment, and the kitchen and washroom were all designed and installed at an accessible level.
  5. Automatic height adjustable desks are standard in each office.
  6. Chairs in offices and meeting spaces are on casters so can be easily moved to accommodate a wheelchair or other assistive device if needed.

Information and Communication Technologies

  • Larger computer monitors are available for those who have reduced or impaired visibility.
  • Software is used to accommodate work from home requests and can be used for longer term work assignments when needed for many positions.

CONSULTATIONS

Employees were asked to anonymously provide the HR Manager with information about their disability and the barriers they are facing, along with their suggestions for how we can help make it more accessible for them. All feedback will be reviewed, and a response will be provided (where possible) which will outline any measures which will be taken as a result of the feedback.
