5. Rehabilitating workers who sustain a disabling injury at the workplace
and moving him/her to a work that suits his/her capacities. This should
be emphasized in the private and non-governmental sectors.
6. Assisting in creating job opportunities for PWDs who received vocational
training. The Ministry of Labor should shoulder its responsibility for
creating job opportunities for PWDs through a systemic employment
plan aimed at integrating persons with disability into the labor market
instead of depending merely on their personal efforts.
7. Ensuring occupational safety and health at the workplace and
accommodating the offices of the Ministry of Labor to enable PWDs
to have access to them. It should also take immediate measures to
ensure occupational safety and health. These measures include
installation of guiding signs and notice for PWDs at workplaces and
making the adjustment necessary for averting any possible danger.
8. Designing a manual for employers concerning PWDs who look for
a job. This manual should include information about the following:
type of disability, rate of disability, skills, capacities and qualifications
they have. This shall help employers analyze and designate the
targeted profession in a way that matches the type and severity of
the disability. Raising awareness among employers about the right of
PWDs work should be achieved to convince them to employ PWDs in
their establishments and factories.
Recommendations for the Ministry of Local Government
and Municipalities in regard to accommodation and
elimination of obstacles and barriers obstructing access
of PWDs:
1. Renovating all workplaces, streets, roads, governmental buildings,
markets, educational institutions and other facilities to ensure physical
access for PWDs and ensure their participation in public life.
2. Providing appropriate transportation and freedom of movement to
facilitate movement of PWDs.
