- Abstract
The social inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market has been widely discussed and encouraged, however for many workers, finding and maintaining a job is still a challenge. This study aimed to identify the perception of workers with disabilities in Metrô-DF regarding accessibility in their work environment. The method used was a field research with a quantitative approach, using a questionnaire with six dimensions of accessibility and Likert agreement scale. The data received statistical treatment, and the results of the nominal variables were expressed through frequency analysis and the results of continuous and ordinal variables through mean ± standard deviation. In total, 40 workers agreed to participate in the research, 24 with physical disabilities, nine with hearing impairments and seven with visual impairments. The means of the highest perceptions were found in the communicational, attitudinal, instrumental and architectural dimensions, with values established as partial agreement, followed by methodological and programmatic, showing values of neutrality. Indicators were obtained regarding the dimensions of accessibility where each type of disability specified the possibilities for improvement for an adequate inclusion by the company. The results identified the characteristics of workers with disabilities and highlighted the main aspects to be improved by the company related to the six dimensions of accessibility. It was highlighted the need for workers to become active collaborators for the construction of equal conditions in the work environment.
