What determines whether an injured worker poses a 'direct threat' to health and safety under U.S. law?

  1. Management's opinion

  2. Worker's self-assessment

  3. Objective evidence based on individualized assessment

  4. A standardized government test

The correct answer is: Objective evidence based on individualized assessment

"An injured worker's 'direct threat' to health and safety under U.S. law is determined by objective evidence based on individualized assessment. This means that it is not solely up to management's opinion or the worker's self-assessment, as these can be influenced by personal bias or subjectivity. It is also not based on a standardized government test, as each worker's circumstances and potential impact on health and safety may differ. Instead, a thorough evaluation of the worker's specific abilities and limitations must be conducted, using evidence and data, to determine their potential to pose a direct threat."
