What does 'direct threat' mean under the ADA?

  1. A significant risk to the health or safety of others that cannot be eliminated by reasonable accommodation

  2. An immediate danger to the employer's business operations

  3. A risk to the employee's own health only, not others

  4. A threat of potential legal action by the employee

The correct answer is: A significant risk to the health or safety of others that cannot be eliminated by reasonable accommodation

'Direct threat' under the ADA refers to a situation where an individual's disability poses a significant risk to the health or safety of others in the workplace, and this risk cannot be reduced or eliminated through reasonable accommodations. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the meaning of 'direct threat' in the context of the ADA. Option B refers to potential harm to the employer's business, not the health or safety of others. Option C only considers the impact on the employee's own health, rather than the safety of others. Option D is unrelated, as 'direct threat' does not involve legal action by the employee.
