DOT Covered/Safety-Sensitive Role Requirements

This position is not subject to federal requirements regarding Department of Transportation "safety-sensitive" functions.

Necessary Physical Requirements

The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this role. Employees must always maintain a constant state of mental alertness. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Prospective employees must be able to meet and maintain a medical surveillance program requirement. This program consists of a mandatory annual medical physical to ensure that each employee is fit for duty. Candidates must meet or exceed the 25th percentile as reflected in the following Table. Sit and Reach --- This tests the officer's flexibility in the lower back, legs and shoulders. The officer shall sit on the floor in front of the measuring device. They shall bend at the waist pushing a block down the device. The stretch must be a static stretch and the officer's calves must remain in contact with the floor. The test is measured to the quarter inch. Bench Press --- This test measures the officer's upper body strength for one repetition. The test is conducted on a single fulcrum bench for safety purposes. The officer is to press the weight straight up until they have locked out their arms. The test is measured in 5-pound increments. Officers are weighed at the time of the test (in PT gear) and the appropriate percentage of the officer's weight is used to determine the percentage to be bench pressed. 5 Mile Run --- This test measures the cardio-respiratory fitness of the officer. It is conducted on a flat surface track / pre-measured (flat) course/treadmill. The test is measured in minutes and seconds. After initial PEB qualifications, they must re-qualify on an annual basis. SGOs failing to meet the minimum standards during annual requalification be allowed thirty (30) calendar days to successfully meet minimum standards. Security Guards failing to meet requirements after 30 calendar days will be placed on Weapons Restriction. Physical Efficiency Battery: The PEB is a fitness test consisting of three differing components to measure the fitness level of the officer. The PEB is categorized by age and gender and with a graduated (percentile) scale that ranks officer's performance from the highest (99th percentile) to the lowest (1st percentile). As an example, a male between 35 to 39 years old is in the 99th percentile if they have 25.00 inches of flexibility, can push 172.14% of their body weight and can run 1.5 miles in 9:15. The same person would be in the 1st percentile with scores of 10 inches of flexibility, 51.50% of body weight pushed and a 1.5 mile run in 22:00. PEB AREAS gender / Age percentile Flexibility in Inches Bench Press as a % of Body Weight 1.5 Mile Run in Min:Sec Male <25> 25 17.20 89.20 13:37 Male 25-29 25 17.00 88.20 13:57 Male 30-34 25 16.75 83.90 14:30 Male 35-39 25 16.50 81.10 15:05 Male 40-44 25 15.50 74.70 16:08 Male 45-49 25 15.00 69.80 17:04 Male 50-54 25 14.50 65.90 17:05 Male 55-59 25 13.24 61.75 19:14 Male 60+ 25 11.75 55.53 20:02 Female <25> 25 19.50 48.00 17:24 Female 25-29 25 19.00 47.60 17:48 Female 30-34 25 18.50 45.50 18:44 Female 35-39 25 18.00 44.80 19:20 Female 40-44 25 17.50 42.80 19:43 Female 45-49 25 17.25 40.80 20:24 Female 50-54 25 16.00 38.90 22.12 Female 55+ 25 15.28 33.70 23:12 Work Environment The work environmental characteristics described here are representative of those that must be borne by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of the role.
