I was taking a group of building service engineers through the 18th. We were discussing the use of Appendix 5. One chap was very exercised about the BA3 category which is described as utilization-capability-handicapped. He claims the latter word was exorcised from common parlance years ago and would be offensive to many. I am not that politically correct but maybe he has a valid argument,.
It would be much more usual to use the term disabled rather than handicapped. It's broader for one thing - handicap came to be seen as limited to obvious physical disabilities.
