Abstract:
Project financed by the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Policy within the Directorate General for the Protection of Working Conditions. If working tasks are carried out in inadequate conditions, workers with functional limitations may, over time, risk developing further disabilities. While several validated risk assessment methods exist for able-bodied workers, few studies have been carried out for workers with disabilities. This project, which reports the findings of a Study funded by the Italian Ministry of Labor, describes a general methodology for the technical and organizational re-design of a worksite, based on risk assessment and irrespective of any worker disability. To this end, a sample of 16 workers, composed of people with mild and severe motor disabilities, was recruited. By using a mix of risk assessment methods and the ICF taxonomy, the worksite was re-designed for each individual worker in the study, and a prospective evaluation was carried out to check whether the new design would eliminate the risks.
