rights in a wheelchair

I want to know about safety in the work place and wheel chair access. What are the rules and rights that someone in a wheelchair in the workplace must be aware of and/or follow. What laws must the employer follow?

I think that the rules the employer must follow come under the Human Rights Code Duty to Accommodate rules.

The Canadian Human Rights Code section on Duty to Accommodate is HERE.
Information about the Ontario Human Rights Code section on Duty to Accommodate is HERE.
To see about a worker's responsibilities, scroll down to Responsibilities in the Accommodation Process.

You can find out more about worker's rights and responsibilities in Ontario HERE.
You can find out more about worker's rights and responsibilities in Canada HERE.

Basically, the Duty to Accommodate ... "requires employers to identify and eliminate rules that have a discriminatory impact. Accommodation means changing the rule or practice to incorporate alternative arrangements that eliminate the discriminatory barriers."

"A person who is denied accommodation can file a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Complaints can be made in relation to any aspect of employment, including pre-employment testing, the working environment, training and promotions."

If you have more questions and concerns, the people at the ARCH Disability Law Centre might be able to help.
