What about new employees though? What if a potential new hire is so
highly allergic that he or she couldn't even work in a facility that
used to have a cat?  It could result in an expensive cleaning bill or
even a lawsuit.  OSHA says that employers must provide "a safe and
healthy worksite which is free of hazards which may cause injuries and
illnesses to workers".  Our attorney has mentioned that this can refer
to things like mold or sick building syndrome, so it can probably also
apply to cat allergies.
