Rehabilitation Act

The Rehabilitation Act is a U.S. law aimed at ensuring people with disabilities have equal access to employment, programs, and services. In the context of health and safety, it requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, enabling them to perform their jobs safely and effectively. This might include modifications to the workplace, equipment, or practices. By promoting inclusivity and safety, the Rehabilitation Act helps protect the rights of individuals with disabilities while also fostering a healthier work environment for everyone.
