The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that under the ADA, an employer is authorized to refuse to hire an individual if the individual's performance on the job would endanger his or her own health owing to a disability. In other words, an employer can consider an individual's health condition that could pose a risk to the individual's safety on the job. However, the employer cannot refuse to hire an individual simply because they have a disability, as long as the individual can perform the job duties with or without a reasonable accommodation.
