This Accessibility Statement should not be interpreted as a representation that every page, feature, third-party service, document or technology associated with this website will satisfy every accessibility standard or guideline in every circumstance.

4. Assistive Technology

Visitors may access websites using a variety of assistive technologies, browsers, operating systems, screen readers, magnification tools, voice-recognition software and other technologies.

The accessibility and functionality experienced by an individual may depend in part on the combination of device, browser, operating system, assistive technology and user settings being used.

5. Mobile Accessibility

The US-EHS website is designed with responsive layouts intended to support access from desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices.

US-EHS does not control the design, accessibility features, technology or content of third-party websites and cannot guarantee the accessibility of external services.

Accessibility concerns involving a third-party website may also need to be addressed directly with the operator of that service.

8. Social Media

Those platforms maintain their own accessibility features, policies and technologies, which are outside the direct control of US-EHS.
