For several years, the CCQ has been implementing an action plan for people with disabilities, both for CCQ staff members and the clients it serves.
The CCQ wishes to support access, integration, and job retention of people with disabilities and is planning to formulate measures to encourage their inclusion in the industry.
Action Plan for People with Disabilities
The CCQ presents an action plan drafted in compliance with section 61.1 of the Act to secure handicapped persons in the exercise of their rights with a view to achieving social, school and workplace integration (RLRQ, C. E-20.1). This plan encourages a more inclusive and respectful industry approach concerning the needs of people with disabilities and their families.
More specifically, the plan was developed following reports of the many obstacles disabled people face, and aims to implement corrective actions that respond to the challenges surrounding their integration to the construction industry or as a member of the CCQ staff.

Among the measures implemented
Interpreter and reader services
Interpreter and reader services are offered by the CCQ to people with a functional limitation to facilitate taking qualification examinations and performing upgrading activities. Time is also allotted upon request to the individual and their interpreter so that they may agree on the signs to be used during the exam. If needed, extra time may be granted for completing qualification examinations.
Individuals who require this type of assistance during their qualification examination can contact Customer Services directly at 1 888 842-8282.
To have recourse to the services of an Interpreter for people with a hearing impairment for an upgrading activity, employees must be eligible for the Fonds de formation des salariés de l’industrie de la construction (FFSIC). Following an evaluation of their needs, they will be able to benefit from the services of an interpreter. For more information, participants must submit a request to the Info-perfectionnement line by calling 1 888 902-2222.

Offices designed to meet client needs
Nearly all regional offices, as well as the head office, are designed to be easily accessible for people with motor disabilities.
Visual glossary of carpentry-joinery terms available
The CCQ supports the Comité d’intégration des Sourds à la construction (CISC) by contributing to the creation of a visual glossary of the main terms used in carpentry-joinery and their equivalents in Quebec Sign Language (LSQ).
Developed pro bono by the CISC, this glossary aims to support the integration of hearing-impaired clients and their interpreters into the construction industry.
