ACCESSIBILITY
Accessibility Statement
Effective date: May 23, 2026
The Safe Healthy Home is intended to be useful to readers who are trying to make clearer, safer, better-supported decisions about their homes.
That includes making the site easier to read, navigate, understand, and use.
COMMITMENT
Accessibility commitment
The Safe Healthy Home aims to make its content accessible and usable for as many readers as reasonably possible.
Accessibility is part of the site’s broader standard of reader care. A page is not truly useful if readers cannot navigate it, read it, understand it, or report a problem when something gets in the way.
IMPROVEMENT
Good-faith improvement
The site is built and maintained with a good-faith effort to improve accessibility over time.
Because accessibility is an ongoing practice, not a one-time checkbox, the site may be updated as problems are found, pages are improved, tools change, design decisions are refined, or better implementation options become available.
The Safe Healthy Home does not claim formal accessibility certification or audited compliance unless that review has actually happened.
GOALS
Accessibility goals
The site aims to support accessibility through practices such as:
- Readable text
- Clear headings
- Clear navigation
- Semantic page structure
- Descriptive link text where possible
- Alt text for meaningful images where appropriate
- Keyboard-friendly interaction where possible
- Clear contrast between text and background
- Avoiding unnecessary visual clutter
- Writing that is clear and practical
- Pages that remain usable across common devices and screen sizes
These goals are part of the site’s ongoing publishing and maintenance process.
REPORTING
Report an accessibility problem
If you have trouble using a page, navigating the site, reading content, accessing a feature, or understanding a part of the site because of an accessibility issue, please report it.
Helpful accessibility reports include:
- The page URL
- A description of the issue
- The device, browser, or assistive technology involved, if relevant
- What you were trying to do
- Contact details if you would like a reply
You do not need to use technical language. A plain description of what happened and where it happened is enough.

ONGOING WORK
Changes and improvements over time
Accessibility improvements may be made as part of normal site updates, design refinements, technical maintenance, reader reports, or page revisions.
Meaningful accessibility issues that affect reader access should be taken seriously and reviewed in the same spirit as other site corrections: with care, accountability, and a focus on making the site more useful.
