Accessibility Statement

Effective May 15, 2026 · Reviewed annually

Procaps Laboratories is committed to making the ProSafe EHS Platform usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. We design and build the platform to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at conformance level AA and to be compatible with the assistive technologies our employees use day-to-day.

Standards we follow

  • WCAG 2.1 AA — published by the W3C / Web Accessibility Initiative
  • Section 508 — U.S. federal accessibility standard (incorporates WCAG 2.0 AA)
  • ADA Title III — Americans with Disabilities Act guidance for places of public accommodation

What this means in practice

Keyboard access

  • Every interactive element is reachable and operable with the keyboard alone.
  • A Skip to main content link appears at the top of every page on focus, so screen-reader and keyboard users can bypass the navigation.
  • Focus is clearly visible on every focusable element via a 3 px high-contrast ring.
  • No focus traps; Tab order follows reading order.

Screen reader compatibility

  • Tested with NVDA + Firefox, JAWS + Chrome, and VoiceOver + Safari.
  • Icon-only buttons carry aria-label attributes describing their action.
  • Decorative icons are marked aria-hidden="true" so they aren't announced.
  • Pages use semantic HTML landmarks: <header>, <nav>, <main>, <aside>, <footer>.
  • Form fields are programmatically labeled; required fields are marked with required + visible asterisk.

Visual design

  • Body text exceeds the WCAG 4.5:1 contrast ratio against its background.
  • Tag/badge colors (green/amber/red) are never the sole indicator — every status also carries a text label.
  • Pages support browser zoom up to 200% without loss of content.
  • The site respects the user's OS-level Reduced Motion preference — animations are disabled when set.
  • Dark-mode theme available via the sidebar toggle.

Touch and pointer

  • Interactive controls are at least 44 × 44 px on mobile (WCAG 2.5.5).
  • Drag interactions (e.g. kanban) also support keyboard alternatives.

Language and localization

  • The platform supports English and Spanish; switch via the sidebar.
  • The QR-driven anonymous hazard intake form is bilingual side-by-side so workers without a logged-in language preference can use either.
  • The page lang attribute reflects the active language so screen readers pronounce correctly.

Forms and error handling

  • Errors identify the field and describe the problem in plain language.
  • Form validation uses both color and text (e.g. red border + "Email is required" message).
  • Long form sections use headings so screen readers can jump between them.

Known limitations

We are committed to fixing accessibility issues as they are identified. Currently known limitations include:

  • Drag-and-drop kanban boards — full keyboard alternatives are available, but the drag interaction itself is not yet exposed to screen readers as a re-orderable list. Use the status dropdowns on each card as the equivalent action.
  • SVG charts (trend, donut, heatmap) — visual representations only. The same data is available in tabular form below each chart, and we are working on adding text summaries for screen reader users.
  • PDF exports — printed reports (OSHA 300A, validation summary, scorecard) are optimized for visual print and have not been tagged for PDF/UA. Use the on-screen pages or CSV exports for an accessible alternative.

Compatible assistive technologies

  • NVDA 2024.x and later (Windows)
  • JAWS 2024 and later (Windows)
  • VoiceOver (macOS 14+, iOS 17+)
  • TalkBack (Android 13+)
  • Windows Speech Recognition / Dragon NaturallySpeaking
  • Switch control on iOS / macOS

Reporting an accessibility barrier

If you encounter content or a feature that's difficult to use with assistive technology, please report it. We respond within 5 business days.

  • Email: ehs.support@procapslabs.com
  • Subject line: Accessibility barrier — [URL or page name]
  • Include: what you were trying to do, what assistive tech you were using, and a description of the barrier.

Audit history

  • May 2026 — Internal WCAG 2.1 AA self-audit completed. Skip-link, focus-visible, ARIA labels, reduced-motion support, semantic landmarks, and 44px tap targets implemented. Known limitations above documented.
  • Next external audit: scheduled for Q4 2026 with an independent accessibility consultancy.

Continuous improvement

Accessibility is reviewed before every major release. New components are tested against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria as part of our validation workflow (see protocol OQ-A11Y in Validation). Issues reported through the channels above are tracked through our internal corrective-action queue and addressed on the same cadence as other bug reports.
