Abstract This report presents the results of a survey of working conditions in centres employing mentally handicapped persons. The responses to a questionnaire aimed at evaluating physical, mental, perceptual-motor, social and personal factors related to workplaces of mentally handicapped workers are compared with the results of a national survey of working conditions in Spain. The advantages of new technologies applied to systems aimed at improving the performance of the handicapped worker as well as those of new information and process control technologies are discussed.
