What if our work environment is too dangerous to hire employees with disabilities?
First, research shows that employees with disabilities are 20% less likely to have accidents/workman compensation claims than their typical counterparts (based on research). Second, if you are hiring someone for a job, say in a warehouse with lots of moving parts, there would be certain skills required for the job. So you would only hire an employee who has a disability who has that skill set. If they have said skill set they should be safe in the environment. Anyone, regardless of ability, can get injured on the job. It is unfair and false to say that people with disabilities are more likely to have an accident due to work environment.
