CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY

TRC is committed to diversity, inclusion and accessibility in everything we do. These core values are fundamental to the way we do business and come through in the experiences we design for people. With this in mind, we are continuously taking steps to improve the overall accessibility of the TRC experience.

In compliance with the Accessibility of Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ADOA), TRC wishes to make available our customer service policy.

OUR COMMITMENT

In fulfilling our mission, Toronto Research Chemicals (TRC) is committed to providing its goods and services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of persons with disabilities. TRC is also committed to giving persons with disabilities the same opportunity to access our goods and services and to benefit from those services, in the same place and in a similar way as other clients. TRC will provide exceptional customer service to all its clients, third parties and members of the public.

USE OF SERVICE ANIMALS AND SUPPORT PERSONS

Service Animals

Persons with disabilities may enter any TRC premises accompanied by a service animal and keep the animal with them, if the public has access to such premises, and the animal is not otherwise excluded by law. While visiting TRC, it is the responsibly of the person with a service animal to control the animal at all times.

Support Persons

Persons with disabilities may enter TRC premises accompanied by a support person and may have access to that support person at all times. TRC may require a person with a disability to be accompanied by a support person while on TRC premises in situations where it is necessary to protect the health and safety of the person with a disability, or the health and safety of others on the premises. Consent from the person with a disability is required when communicating private issues related to the person with a disability, in the presence of a support person.

TRC will make a reasonable effort to provide customers with notice in the event of a planned or unexpected disruption in the facilities or services usually used by persons with disabilities. This notice will include information about the reason for the disruption, the anticipated duration, and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available. The notice will be placed at all public entrances and reception counters on our premises.
