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.
