Hardware Inaccessibility Risks
Hardware devices must be made accessible to protect your revenues. Legislation in many countries requires that public sector organizations-including U.S. Federal government agencies-only purchase hardware that is accessible to people with disabilities. In addition, your organization faces the risk of anti-discriminatory litigation from employees with disabilities who cannot perform essential job functions if your hardware devices are inaccessible. Hardware accessibility is relevant to several types of organizations:
- Hardware manufacturers must make their products accessible or risk losing public sector contracts.
- Public sector organizations such as U.S. Federal government agencies are required by laws such as Section 508 to develop and purchase accessible hardware devices.
- All organizations using hardware devices face the potential of anti-discriminatory legal action from employees who cannot properly fulfill job functions if these devices are inaccessible.
Inaccessible hardware devices subject your organization to revenue loss, punitive damages, and compliance risks. An SSB BART Group Hardware Assessment is the first step in resolving these risks.
