The State Office of Risk Management is committed to making its website accessible to all users, and includes several features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities.
Website Standards
Accessibility standards for this website are based upon the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), Conformance Level “AA”.
Web markup is checked against the W3Cvalidation services.
Recent improvements to the site have included the use of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) which have eliminated the depreciated and improperly used HTML tags for website presentation.
Web browser testing for any updated or new web pages include Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (IE), and Mozilla Firefox.
Images on the site contain “alt tags” with descriptions of the image, which aid users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site.
Major reports and other special publications that are made available on the agency’s Web site are generally available in html. In some cases we may publish a document using Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). When posting PDF files, we follow Adobe’s “Adobe & Accessibility.
