description:

Increasing employability of persons with disabilities in the floriculture sector requires careful analysis of risks and hazards at the workplace, analysis of suitability of certain occupations for persons with disabilities with certain abilities and analysis of the accessibility of the work place

context:

The project “The Decent Work in Jordan’s Floriculture Sector project” aimed to increase the employability of persons with disabilities through the technical training in floriculture sector and OSH. The project conducted the analysis of the occupations and developed the training based on occupational standards for men and women, including the PwDs. The training included theoretical part and a practical part – directly in the farms

success:

It was learnt as a result of this project that persons with disabilities could perform packaging of flowers regardless of their type of disability. If due training is provided, the persons with challenged vision could perform this work as well. Persons with disabilities enjoyed working at the farms noting good attitude to them and equal pay. Investing in creating inclusive green jobs could contribute to the rehabilitation of persons of disabilities, their better social integration and promotion of their human rights for economic participation

challenges:

It was learnt from this experience that farms are not accessible to men and women using the wheel chairs as the lanes between the flower beds are too narrow and flowers in most farms are planted to the soil thus it is difficult to bend for persons using wheel chairs. Being at the farms unattended could be dangerous for persons with mental challenges (risks of falling down to water basins, machines and equipment).

administrative_issues:

To the Programme Department – to build on the knowledge gained and design future interventions with solid analysis of risks and hazards at the workplace, analysis of suitability of certain occupations for persons with disabilities with certain abilities and analysis of the accessibility of the work place; to motivate employers in creation of inclusive jobs through the design and pilot of the active labour market measures
