| Abstract |
People with disabilities should receive equal treatment at work, including in matters regarding occupational health and safety. Health and safety should not be used as an excuse for not employing or not continuing to employ disabled people. In addition, a workplace that is accessible and safe for people with disabilities is also safer and more accessible for all employees, clients and visitors. People with disabilities are covered by both European anti-discrimination legislation and occupational health and safety legislation. This legislation, which the Member States implement in national legislation and arrangements, should be applied to facilitate the employment of people with disabilities, not to exclude them. Contents of this fact sheet on the safety and health of disabled workers: legal requirements; hazard evaluation and anti-discrimination actions; tips for providing reasonable accommodation and a safe workplace for disabled workers; training on equality. |
