THE DEFENCE OF INHERENT REQUIREMENTS
OF THE JOB: A BLANKET BAN FOR
MEDICAL REASONS NOT JUSTIFIABLE
IMATU v City of Cape Town
(2005) 14 LC 6.12.2*
1 Introduction
The Labour Court was faced with the question of whether the respondent in
this case was justified in imposing a blanket ban on the employment of
diabetics in the position of firefighters on the basis that the condition in itself
posed a serious risk for the sufferer, as well as the public at large, where the
individual was called upon to work in hazardous and stressful conditions.
