Workplace Safety

Most people with epilepsy can work without worrying about safety issues. However, some jobs are more risky if seizures are frequent, involve loss of consciousness, and happen without warning.

Jobs can often be made safer with a few changes. Employers are, in many cases, required by law to make such changes or accommodations.
