What the paper says

Recognition of accessibility barriers in traditional science laboratories for persons with disabilities and potential effects on scientific innovation is growing, as is the need to further explore how these barriers can be addressed in Canadian federal science laboratories. To address this gap and support the establishment of inclusive research environments, this research note synthesizes publications relevant to inclusive science and accessibility standards in Government of Canada science laboratories. The literature indicates that the built environment and workplace culture are interdependent in achieving accessible laboratories. The Inclusive Science and Accessible Laboratories pilot project at Natural Resources Canada is an illustration of how organizations can further the goals of inclusive science.
