Allergies and Accommodations Depending on the type and severity of their conditions, people with allergies may experience limitations in the workplace. As a result, they may be entitled to workplace accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability nondiscrimination legislation. As part of its Accommodation and Compliance series, the ODEP-funded Job Accommodation Network offers guidance on common workplace accommodations for people with allergies, including examples of specific situations and solutions experienced by employees and employers. Disability Employment Video PSAs Did you know that the Campaign for Disability Employment's five public service announcements are offered in a variety of formats for accessibility, including open-captioned, audio-introduced, and now, American Sign Language video? In addition, each CDE PSA has one or more accompanying materials for use in the workplace, such as posters and discussion guides. Funded by ODEP, the CDE is a collaborative effort among several disability and business organizations that showcases supportive, inclusive workplaces for all workers.
