ABSTRACT
The safety of every employee is a serious responsibility, everything feasible should be done to ensure the safety of handicapped workers. In setting up a program it is to provide a safe working environment for handicapped employees to make sure that our facilities can accommodate people with average limitations. Once the number of handicapped has been generally determined and their limitations defined, appropriate reasonable modifications can be incorporated into our facilities and operations. Every exposure should be reviewed with the handicapped employee because not every supervisor can fully appreciate the relationship between the employee and the hazard or the best ways to avoid the hazard. A primary consideration should be to ensure that handicapped employees can be evacuated during an emergency. As with any management function, an annual review of the handicapped safety program must be made to justify the effort.
