16. POUR as a guide
POUR stands for perceivable, operable,
understandable and robust.
It is the standards recommended for developing websites, web
applications, browsers, and other tools for web accessibility.
A lot of the recommendations can be carried over to the Lesson
Materials you create for your class. It can also use the standards
when you are reviewing systems you use.

24. Analysis the Risk
Mapping each of the identified risk along
the following axis:
▰ Probability - Likelihood of the risk
causing harm; and
▰ Impact - Severity of the harm.
Prioritising identified risk in the red zone,
then yellow zone and finally green zone.
Based on this information we will build

we can start planning
contingencies for the
identified risk.

Hierarchy of Control [1] Description
Elimination Remove the hazard.
Substitution Substitute (replace) the process / machine /
material with less risky ones.
Engineering Controls Design or modify the process / machine to reduce
the risk.
Administrative Controls Safe work procedures, instruction, training.
Personal Protective Equipment
(or Software)
Equipment used on the person to protect them.

26. Additional Advice
Five Strategies[1]
▰ Start with text
▰ Create alternatives
▰ Let’em do it their way
▰ Go step by step
▰ Set content free
Provide Accessible Material and
Media [2] (organizers & speakers)
▰ Offer handouts, slides, and
other material in accessible
formats
▰ Ensure slides, handouts, and
other electronic material for
participants is accessible
▰ Make media fully accessible
— including audio and video
used in sessions, and
recordings of sessions
provided afterwards
Preparing Slides and Projected
Material [2] (speakers)
▰ Make text and important
visuals big enough to be
read even from the back of
the room.
▰ Use an easy-to-read font
face
▰ Use sufficient contrast
between colors (“luminance
contrast”)
▰ Consider how to use motion
or animations
▰ Make provided material
