ADA Compliance Policy Requirements in Washington

A comprehensive Americans with Disabilities Act compliance program covering reasonable accommodations, the interactive process, essential job functions, and workplace accessibility requirements.

Required for employers with 15 or more employees under Title I of the ADA. All businesses open to the public must comply with Title III (public accommodations). State laws may apply to smaller employers.

Washington operates its own OSHA-approved state plan through WA DOSH (RCW Chapter 49.17). This means Washington businesses must meet requirements that can be more stringent than federal OSHA standards.
