Abstract

When a disability interferes with the performance of an essential job function, a low-tech or high-tech accommodation may allow the worker to perform that function. Information on 141 cases that concerned fatigue was analyzed based on the Job Accommodation Network database. Industry, occupational category, career progression, causative factor, job function, and accommodation suggestion were the variables in these cases. In the primary analysis, 24 job functions (e.g. work at full production level, work at standing height) were related to 10 accommodation suggestions (e.g. flexible work schedule, purchase equipment). Results are discussed in terms of proactive versus reactive accommodations for fatigue in the workplace. Copyright © 1996 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
