Disclosing disability to an employer

When is the appropriate time (if at all) to disclose a disability to an employer? I've kept my medical issues to myself since I started my current job. Recently they have been asking me to do work which I know will aggravate my conditions. Should I stay silent and file for workers compensation if I get hurt? Or disclose my disabilities to avoid doing the new tasks? I don't want to come off as making excuses but I'm not trying to hurt myself either. (BTW I should be leaving this job in the next few months) Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
