Customisation of the workplace

The Occupational Health and Safety Act states that the work, working equipment and workplace of a person with a disability must be customised according to their physical and mental capabilities. This means that the employer’s premises, working area and equipment are rendered accessible to the disabled person so that they are able to use them in their work. This requirement is also applicable to common areas (corridors, recreational rooms et al) which disabled employees use.
