Training:
What is different?
The New Integrated Accessibility Standard
has to provide training in all parts of the new standard, i.e., Information and
Communication, Transportation and Employment.
This has to be done by the designated dates. The one thing that is different is that each
organization has to provide training in the Ontario Human Rights Code. In particular, the Human Rights Code training
has to include the parts that pertain to people with disabilities.
This training has to be provided to all
employees, volunteers and all people who participate in developing your
company’s policies as well as all people who provide goods, services or
facilities on behalf of your company.
The training can be personalized to your
company’s needs. This training has to be
appropriate to the duties of employment, volunteers and other persons. This training has to be done as soon as
practicable and ongoing as changes to the policies continue. This training should be on-going as barriers
to people with disabilities are removed or prevented.
Each company has to keep a record of
training providing the dates of training, what was covered and the number of
individuals which training was provided.
This part of training has to be done by January 1, 2014 for large
organizations.
How will these changes to training
requirements change/update your training plan for compliance with the
Integrated Accessibility Standard?
