title: [Worker with physical disability: weaknesses and disorders self referred].
abstract: This study aimed to investigate weaknesses and disorders experienced by workers with physical disabilities in their work environment. It is a descriptive case study, with qualitative approach. Data were collected from eight workers with physical disabilities and analyzed using thematic analysis. Most of the subjects surveyed reported having encountered difficulties in finding employment and mentioned the prejudice and obstacles to accessibility. Most of them do not identify risks for disease in the workplace. People with disabilities should have knowledge about their rights and about the occupational hazards they are exposed, in order to facilitate means for consolidating a society increasingly inclusive and to promote healthy ambience. Health professionals should make a profound reflection on the subject, so that can collaborate for the healthy inclusion of people with disabilities in their jobs.
