CSR Innovative Solutions is kicking off, with all partners involved, the newly approved project Safe4All – Safety 4 Disability: Inclusive Training on Safety and Health at Work for Workers with disabilities.

The global crisis of COVID-19 is deepening pre-existing inequalities. Persons with disabilities (PWD) who faced exclusion in employment before this crisis are now more likely to lose their job and will experience greater difficulties in returning to work.
It is essential to take an approach that is inclusive for PWD.
People with disabilities need a range of specialized interventions to access skills development and work, including assistive devices and access to employment services.
This project identifies smart, clear, and effective measures to guarantee safety inclusion of people with disabilities at work.
