Default re: Human Rights

That comes under exemptions.

"General
Unreasonable to provide service
Risk of harm"

So, if the person is at risk of harming themself or others because of a job requirement, then it is okay to discriminate against their disability.

Amusingly, one that applies in almost all cases is "Shared residential accommodation", so it is okay to advertise for 'flatmate wanted, must have both legs, not be a smelly foreigner, not an unemployed bum, and is not a Right-wing political follower.'
