What are my occupational health and safety responsibilities when employing a person with disability?
Your business benefits from a proactive approach to occupational health and safety. Better health and safety improves productivity, your business image and can save you the costs associated with a work related injury or illness. As an employer you are probably already highly aware of the need to provide a safe and healthy workplace to protect your employees against potential health and safety risks. Your responsibilities toward employees with disability are really no different to your responsibilities toward all other employees.
