If the ABW has an impairment, what must the center ensure?

When an Able-Bodied Worker (ABW) has an impairment, it is crucial for safety and effective support to have at least one other trained able-bodied person in the vehicle. This ensures that in the event the impaired individual requires assistance or encounters a situation that demands immediate action, there is someone available who can provide support or take over responsibilities as necessary. The presence of another trained person also enhances safety and reduces the risk of accidents or injuries, thereby maintaining a secure environment for everyone involved. This practice emphasizes the importance of team-based support in contexts where impairments may compromise an individual’s ability to function independently.
