and the disabled\n\nSpecific handicaps of new workerswill be hard to plan for.Disabilities willvary from mild to serious and will includea range of names and symptoms.Eachdisabled worker hired will require an indi-vidual determination as to workplace ad-justments to ensure that person's safetyand health.Reasonable accommoda-tions that the employer will have to makewilldiffer also,from removing obstaclesthat could be hazardous to disabled em-ployees,to extensive training to ensurethat mentally retarded workers under-stand safety provisions,to making day-to-day adjustments of a work schedulefor someone fatigued by a flare-up of my-asthenia gravis—one type of musculardystrophy.  \n‘Americans with abilities'is what theOhio Bureau of Workers'Compensationcalls the 2 million U.S.workers and po-tential workers freed from the handicap ofdiscrimination by recent legislation.Under the new federal Americans withDisabilities Act,opportunities will beopened for capable persons who alsohappen to have some physical or mentallimitations.Naturally enough,one areacalled into question will be whether ade-quate safety and health provisions canbe made for these new employees.

alike are certainly possi-ble,says the Ohio agency.This is dem-onstrated by a 1981 study of its ownworkforce conducted by DuPont.Thesurvey showed little difference betweendisabled and nondisabled employees inregard to safety practices,job perfor-mance,and attendance.  \nJSC talked to Dallas-based JenniferSatery about the type of job-site modifi-cation analysis she does on a consultingbasis.Given work tolerance limitations bymedical personnel,Satery goes to theworkplace and scrutinizes everythingfrom the chair the worker will sit in to thewidth of the hallways.She determines ifthe job will require stooping,bending,crouching,or pushing outside the medi-cal limits.Satery,who did this formerly forthe federal government,can be reachedat 214/216-5040.Job Safety foreseesthat something on this order will have tobe performed routinely for each disabledworker hired under the ADA.  \nSafety in Action.....p.3  \nRecording vehicle accidents...footprotecion..holiday
