Abstract (English): This article presents a descriptive analysis of the urgent need to develop inclusive tools that facilitate the labor integration of deaf individuals in the food industry. Based on the universal right to work, it emphasizes the lack of resources and sign language training programs tailored to this sector, which limits this population's equitable access to the labor market. The study successfully proposed, based on the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), the conceptualization of a practical guide to train deaf individuals in a food industry factory. This guide aims not only to improve the integration and efficiency of deaf employees but also to transform perceptions of disability in the food sector. It proposes establishing an accessible training model that other companies can adopt. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of raising awareness among employers and coworkers about the use of accessibility tools, highlighting that implementing educational programs tailored to the needs of this community would contribute to a more inclusive and productive work environment. The analysis, oriented toward practical application, also complies with local and international food safety regulations, demonstrating the benefits of having a diverse and equitable workforce.

Abstract (Spanish): Este artículo presenta un análisis descriptivo sobre la urgente necesidad de desarrollar herramientas inclusivas que faciliten la integración laboral de personas sordas en la industria alimentaria. A partir del derecho universal al trabajo, se enfatiza la falta de recursos y programas de formación en lenguaje de señas adaptados a este sector, lo que limita el acceso equitativo de esta población al mercado laboral. El estudio logró proponer, basado en los principios del Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje (DUA), la conceptualización de una guía práctica para capacitar a personas sordas en una fábrica de la industria de alimentos. Esta guía no solo busca mejorar la integración y eficiencia de los empleados sordos, sino también transformar las percepciones sobre la discapacidad en el ámbito alimentario. Se propone establecer un modelo de capacitación accesible que otras empresas puedan adoptar. Además, se subraya la importancia de sensibilizar a empleadores y compañeros de trabajo sobre el uso de herramientas de accesibilidad, destacando que la implementación de programas educativos adaptados a las necesidades de esta comunidad contribuiría a un ambiente laboral más inclusivo y productivo. El análisis, orientado hacia la aplicación práctica, también responde a las normativas locales e internacionales en seguridad alimentaria, evidenciando los beneficios de contar con una fuerza laboral diversa y equitativa.
