Dear Employers
These days, when the society cares for the individual empowerment within it, the promotion
of disabled people’s employment is of great importance, as part of the equal and active
participation right for these people in our society.
The Israel Institute for Occupational Safety and Hygiene, in frame of its operation, wishes
to enhance the safety of Israeli employees including disabled employees, who are, at times,
more exposed to risks and obstacles. These risks can be minimized and even removed. This
way we will improve the safety and health of the employees including the disabled ones.
This booklet provides tools, written by experts, for enhancing safety and health among
disabled employees, with emphasis on sensory, physical and mental disabilities, and options
for modification and improving accessibility of the work station with the state assistance, as
part of the improvement and assistance for businesses employing disabled people.
This booklet will provide you with knowledge on occupational safety of disabled people
and thus also their safest integration.
Sincerely
Daniel Hadad
Director General
Israel Institute for Occupational Safety and Hygiene
