Urgent responce needed. UK Acts and Regulations regarding employment and medical conditions.?
I need to know what the law says in regards to employees with underlying medical conditions. Say, for example, an employee has a knee issue that may require surgery in the future. She is unable to stand for long periods of time (over three hours) without suffering from knee pain that can render her unable to walk, however, the employer refuses to allow the use of a stool so that she can sit down for brief periods of time when necessary. She works mainly behind a till, whereby most of her work CAN be done seated. What are her rights in this situation?
I have checked the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 but I am still not clear on the regulations regarding underlying medical conditions and rights as an employee.
Please include links to documentation that supports answers. Thanks.
You need to read the Disability Discrimination Act. If a condition is likely to be long standing,say 12 months or more, and interferes to any extent with an individual's quality of life they are covered by this Act. Whilst specific health problems are not detailed, a wide number fall within the scope of the Act, if they fulfil the criteria mentioned above

I have no idea what "the E.U." is, but British Airways' website had this to say:
On British Airways flights children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a person of 16 years of age or above.
Does that help?
