  5. Priority should be given to the employees who become disabled while working at the workplace.
  6. Employers would employ the disabled employees via Turkish Employment Agency (İŞKUR)
  7. The qualifications of the employees to be employed, the jobs in which they can be employed, how they can be recruited by the employer in terms of occupation, would be regulated by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security.
  8. Disabled employees cannot be employed in underground and underwater works and for the determination of the number of employees in the workplaces per the statements above, underground, and underwater employees are not taken into account.
