capacities to perform the essential functions of this job safely as described in this document, an offer of
conditional hire may be issued to you on condition that you can safely undergo medically-based job-
specific functional testing (e.g., lift and carry tests that simulate job demands while your heart rate and
blood pressure are monitored) to demonstrate that you are physically fit for duty. Medical questions and
functional testing are conducted on a post-conditional offer basis only.
A medical and functional work capacity evaluation will include completing a detailed medical history
form. For your safety and the safety of others, you will be required at that time to fully disclose any
medical problems that you may have. You will then undergo a physical (medical) examination and job-
specific functional capacities examination to ensure that you can be safely placed in the job. If you fail to

II. Minimum Physical Demand Requirements for Safe Job Performance
Physical demands described in this functional job description have been validated by on-site job analysis
involving direct measurements. They are representative of the physical demands that must be met by an
employee to successfully and safely perform the essential functions of this job. Although specific
components of job demands are listed in detail in this document, the following information is a synopsis
of key minimum physical demand requirements determined from a detailed job analysis:
01. POSTURAL: Employee must have the ability to move extremities and spine throughout a sufficient
range of motion that will permit the employee to work in a variety of postures involving a range from
floor to overhead level. Flexing and twisting of the trunk and other awkward postures are
occasionally required while climbing onto/off of truck, boom, forklifts and when loading/delivering
product by hand.
02. DEXTERITY: Employee must have good dexterity and frequently use one and two hands
throughout the work period when operating the trucks, forklifts, boom and when handling product.
03. GRIP STRENGTH: Employee must have sufficient grip to climb up and down on the truck, forklift
and boom. Must have the grip strength to operate same equipment and to handle materials by hand.
04. CARDIORESPIRATORY DEMAND: Employee must have sufficient cardiorespiratory fitness to
be able to do heavy work for short periods of time, handling heavy product in heat and humid
conditions, inside and out.

push horizontally with a peak force of 75 lbs with two hands
Frequency of material handling will vary considerably depending on operational conditions. The physical
demands for certain jobs may actually exceed those listed above in certain situations. However, the
employee is expected to seek assistance if material handling requirements exceed those listed above or if
the job demand cannot be performed safely.

job tasks is required for developing an accurate and valid functional job description as required by guidelines
consistent with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and EEOC regulations for fair hiring practices. Findings
presented in this PDV are presented as representing typical physical demand requirements of the job tasks analyzed.
Physical demands may at times exceed those identified in this report. Employees are required to adhere to all safety
guidelines established by the employer and seek assistance to perform any task, which they may feel exceeds their
safe capacities to perform.
XIV. Methods of PDV Analysis
1. Personal interview, questionnaires, and on-site direct observation of job activities.
2. Measurements of material handling forces using push-pull dynamometers and weight scales.
3. Measurements of material dimensions, distances, heights, reaches using tape measures.
4. Print and slide photography and real time videotaped recording.
