Abstract

An employer who wants to employ a person with alternative disturbances faces a difficult problem of selecting a workstation and tasks suitable to a given person's disease since even the same case of disease does not guarantee identical organizational solutions of a workstation. However the more complex the movement disfunction, the more difficult the task is. At the same time it is important that work results of a workstation allow achieving complex productivity. The article presents an attempt at elaborating a method aided by a computer system which allows introducing changes or modifications of workstation space, place equipment and facilities or installing additional elements enabling effective and productive work performance by a person with precisely defined abilities. Presented results of piloting researches have proven that the elaborated method of aiding decisions while adapting workstations to needs and abilities of people with movement disfunction will bring social and economic benefits.
