This is not easy if you do not speak sign language, everything has to be written down ... on a piece of paper or email ... body language can be used till you find a pen and paper .....

Hopefully sign language is an international used the same way... this would be actually helpful

It is easy in the sense that you should put your shoes on them by knowing what kind of disablities do they posses. If deaf, Its better to use Writings on a piece of paper, instead of sign language which you are master & can only create confusions or maybe commotions in future due to misunderstanding.

First there is equal apportunity policy so being deef or any other barrier to communicate will have no less treatment than anyone else.since most working places are equiped with special needs facilities that will be my first option if not will make sure to dedicate enough time to investigate and communicate through writing of other non verbal communcations to confirm needs and answer questions
