AODA Compliance
for Ontario Organizations
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) sets mandatory standards for accessibility in Ontario workplaces and public spaces. Our products ensure full compliance.
AODA Penalties
AODA non-compliance in Ontario can result in administrative penalties up to $100,000 per day for organizations. Directors and officers may also face personal liability for non-compliance.
AODA Requirements for Access Control
Accessible entry for all disabilities
AODA requires accessible entry for individuals with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities — not just mobility impairments.
Barrier-free design
All entry points must be designed to eliminate barriers for people with disabilities, including gates that require minimal force to operate.
Staff training requirements
Organizations must train staff on how to assist individuals with disabilities in using access control systems.
Feedback mechanism
Organizations must provide a process for people with disabilities to request accessible formats or communication supports.
Ontario-specific standards
AODA's Built Environment Standard includes specific requirements for door hardware, entry systems, and accessible routes that exceed ADA requirements in some areas.
