Increasing the effectiveness of safety and quality management systems is one of the most important ways to ensure the sustainable development of any organization. Employment of people with disabilities is a significant challenge for safety and quality management systems, as it can potentially increase the risk of hazards related to employee injury or property damage due to growing manufacturing defects. Therefore, the implementation of an effective risk management system is an urgent problem. The article analyzes the ways of risk management at the workplace of people with disabilities using the clauses of probability theory. Calculation of the probability of influence the level of employee's work ability on the growth of risk in the context of safety and quality showed that the most effective way to minimize risk is to develop a flexible work schedule for employees with disabilities, as well as giving to the employee with a high degree of loss of professional ability such work production tasks, characterized by the circulation of low-value products. Calculations carried out using the Bayes` formula showed that the most effective way of managing safety and quality at the workplaces of employees with disabilities is to reduce the volume of production tasks. As a result of the calculation, it was determined that reducing the volume of production tasks by 10% decreases the probability of getting injuries of an employee with persistent functional changes in the health state by 11%. These measures will allow the organization to avoid severe restrictions on the level of working ability of persons with disabilities in their employment, as well as to minimize risks in the context of safety and quality of work.

Current trends in ensuring sustainable business development are based, inter alia, on the diversification of the workforce. Provision with the workplaces to people with disabilities allows the company gaining many benefits due not only to compliance with the legislation, but also to improve the management system of opportunities to implement projects on corporate social responsibility. Taken together, this allows the company demonstrating its strengths, gain competitive advantage and investment attractiveness. The downside of this issue is the possible additional investment in adapting the workplace to the needs of worker with disability and an increased risk of injury. Occupational safety, as a powerful system of organizational and technical measures, allows not only minimizing the costs of business to ensure the employment of people with disabilities, but also to help implement programs of corporate social responsibility. The article analyzes the role of occupational safety in the implementation of projects on corporate social responsibility and presents the results of a survey of stakeholders on the problems of employment of people with disabilities in the organization. It is shown that negative expectations of employers about the possible increasing of injuries, as well as the need for additional investment to adapt workplaces to the special needs of people with disabilities, even with an understanding of the importance of this issue and positive impact on company development create obstacles to development of this area. An effective solution to this issue is to intensify the company's efforts to improve the management system of occupational safety and the use of powerful tools of organizational and technical measures to adapt the workplace and work process to the needs of socially vulnerable groups.

The organization of employment of vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities, is an important so-cio-economic issue, because providing opportunities for professional development creates the conditions for im-proving the level of economic protectability of disabled person, as well as has a positive influence on his psycho-logical state. However, the employment of people with special needs at the workplaces is connected with an in-creased risk of injury. This is due to the presence of persistent functional changes in the health state of workers with disabilities, as well as dangerous and harmful factors present at the workplace. Therefore, employers seek to avoid employing people with disabilities, despite the requirements of human rights law, anti-discrimination laws, and programs and services aimed to provide support and employment opportunities for people with disabilities. The purpose of the article is to develop a scientifically grounded approach to taking into account the func-tional state of persons with disabilities in determining the risk of injury at performing production tasks at the workplaces of enterprises of basic sectors of the economy. The novelty of the approach to risk assessment is based on the using individual risk of injury specific to the enterprise of a particular industry, taking into account the functional state of a person with a disability working at a particular workplace, carried out by using the appro-priate coefficient. The value of the coefficient depends on the number of criteria for life activity limitations, which are determined by the medical and social expert commission, as well as the maximum value of the severity of the criteria. Thus, the proposed approach allows taking into account not only the general level of injuries inherent in a particular industry, but also the individual characteristics of a particular employee. This approach allows providing the employer with information in decision-making about improving the management system of occupa-tional safety at the enterprise.
