The examples drawn from actual experiences of women workers, illustrate principles apply equally to the situation of many workers with disabilities and the elderly. As women, these workers have been protected in cases of occupational risks, so that they have been deprived of economic self-sufficiency and other rewards of work. Limiting the choices of employees, suggests that they are unable to carry out appropriate decisions about the risks and benefits of work. The three groups mentioned have had to bear the burden of negative stereotypes about their abilities, and are often denied the opportunity to demonstrate their skills. In addition, it has tended to consider the adaptation of workers as a particularly heavy burden, even if to accommodate a worker injured in a traffic accident or an executive who has suffered a heart attack.
equality applies when establishing policies in the workplace to meet the needs of all workers. This principle is essential to address situations in which known members of racial or ethnic
are considered especially sensitive to certain occupational hazards. These claims should be subject to close scrutiny to ensure its validity sometimes used-dents are unfounded and to justify the exclusion of individual workers, although the individual variation in sensitivity is often more important than differences derived material derived from group membership (Bingham 1986). However, even so, the principles of equality advise that the risk should be reduced or avoided by technical measures, product substitution or other means,
and not depriving a whole group of employment opportunities or subjecting members to certain conditions when it is known that involve risk.
Ideally, capabilities and needs of workers must be evaluated individually, and must conform, as far as possible, to individual needs. Risk estimates are usually better made profit by those most directly affected. The possibility that workers sacrifice their health in exchange for their economic welfare can be reduced if the Administration standards are set under the assumption that the workplace operates a representative sample of the population, including pregnant women , older workers, disabled and members of different racial and ethnic groups. Some events in life are fairly predictable: procreation and aging affect a large proportion of the workforce, disability and significant numbers all belong to certain racial or ethnic subgroup. Policies related work in these circumstances are considered normal and expected, creating a conducive working environment where equality, on the one hand, and health and safety, on the other, can coexist problems.
