Construction
Construction is a field that includes many different job tasks. That means that this sector can involve a variety of accommodation situations, including tools, vehicles, lifting aids, and protection from the elements. Numerous types of equipment are available to accommodate those with motor, mobility, hearing, vision, and cognitive losses who work in construction. For these types of situations, a job accommodation may involve modifying the way an essential job function is typically done and can include purchasing one or more pieces of equipment. Here are some examples of equipment that JAN suggests for these situations. For additional information, visit JAN's other resources under A to Z and use JAN's Searchable Online Accommodation Resource (SOAR) or contact JAN directly for what you are needing.
