Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Opportunities in Shipbuilding for the Physically Handicapped: Special Bulletin
This fact is true of the returned soldier who has suffered physical impairment in the service of his country. It is equally true of the worker in industry who, in the performance of his duties there, has received injuries which require his readjust ment in employment. At the outset it should be clearly recognized that any program for helping the handicapped worker and for main taining the productive effort of the industry in which he works cannot be successful if founded upon a paternalistic basis. Every industry should care for its physically handicapped and provide for them the opportunity to follow a normal pursuit under normal surroundings along with their fellow workers. Then again, from the standpoint of production and financial returns, the handicapped worker, properly placed, has already proven himself an efficient worker in industry. It is hoped that the suggestions in this Bulletin will be of value in better adapting handicapped workers to shipyard employment.
