Accessibility Statement
This website is run by Ministry of Manpower (MOMP), Sultanate of Oman. MOMP is committed
to ensuring that this website is accessible to everyone regardless of disability,
capability or technology.
This page states our intention that our website is usable and accessible to all
users and details some of the measures taken. This website's objective is to conform
to the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, Level AA.
Some of the measures we have taken to ensure our site is accessible include:
- We use meaningful alternative text for all images on our website;
- All our web pages use valid XHTML and valid CSS;
- We conduct regular validation checks to ensure the HTML code of our web pages is
valid;
- We run regular checks of our pages against accessibility testing tools and perform
periodic audits of our site against WAI Priority 1 and 2 checkpoints.
- Contents were reviewed to make language easily understandable and to check for correctness
in punctuations and grammar.
- Page Semantics were rechecked and each page was given meaningful title, headings
and Meta tags.
- For all FORM elements, each element was bound to their corresponding LABEL element.
- For all Data tables, TH elements were given to all headings to distinguish them
from the data.
If you experience problems accessing any of the information on our site, please
contact our website team via webmaster@manpower.gov.om
and we will try our best to fix the problem or provide the information in an alternative
format.
Exceptions
This commitment applies only to the MOMP websites on the www.manpower.gov.om domain,
and not to websites that are linked from our pages.
We are aware that some of our non-HTML content is not as accessible as it could
be. Compliance with web accessibility is an ongoing process which we are working
to improve.
Alternative Text
All images on this site are accompanied by a brief alternative text which where
appropriate identifies an image or its function. This alternative text (alt-text)
is generally only visible when the browser's automatic image loading feature is
turned off.
Links
All text links are written so that they make sense when read out of context.
Documents
Documents on this website are provided in a variety of formats. The most common
is Adobe Acrobat PDF (PDF). Most computers already have the software to open these
document formats.
Most PDF files on this site allow basic accessibility. Simple PDFs should not represent
an accessibility problem. However, despite our best efforts some PDF files may still
not be fully accessible, such as scanned and older PDF files and those containing
complex statistics and data tables.
If you are having trouble reading a PDF document on this website, Adobe offers a
free online tool for converting PDF documents to HTML or text. For more information
about PDF accessibility see the Adobe website accessibility section. For more help
with Acrobat files generally and a link to download Acrobat Reader see the site
help page.
