The Rehabilitation Act and ADA are complicated and create many difficult issues for individuals trying to apply disability law in their agencies. In particular, direct threat is a topic that can be confusing due to the potential liability for disability discrimination. This engaging webinar teaches you how to lawfully assess whether an employee with a disability poses a direct threat to safety and whether reasonable accommodation can address that concern.
Experienced EEO attorneys Gary Gilbert and Deryn Sumner explain how the medical diagnoses of a particular mental condition doesn't automatically render an individual a threat to his own safety or the safety of others in the workplace.
Plus, you gain the knowledge to:
- Initiate and effectively carry out the interactive process to address reasonable accommodation with an individual who has a condition that may pose a direct threat to safety
- Properly request medical information from an individual who may pose a threat to safety
- Avoid liability for unlawful or overly broad requests for medical documentation
- Distinguish between substantiated and unsubstantiated threats with regards to employees with mental disabilities
- And more!
