PHYSICAL DEMANDS: Regularly required to stand; use hands and fingers, handle, or feel objects, tools, or controls; and reach with hands and arms.

Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to adjust focus.

Employees assigned to tasks that require the use of a respirator must be physically able to perform the work while using the respirator. Accordingly, Canam Bridges has the responsibility of ensuring that employees are medically fit to tolerate the physical and psychological stress imposed by respirator use, as well as the physical stress originating from the job and workplace conditions.

• Upon assignment, employees must be medically evaluated and found eligible to wear the respirator selected for their use prior to fit testing or first-time use of the respirator in the workplace. Medical eligibility is to be determined by a physician or other licensed health care professional.
• Consistent with OSHA requirements, persons with beards or long sideburns cannot be fit tested due to the inability to get a good facial seal. OSHA law prohibits individuals from wearing a tight-fitting respirator until the person is clean-shaven and fit-tested.
• If a smoker, the employee will be required to refrain from smoking for at least one and a half hours prior to the fit test; this is because the sensitive equipment may detect particulate in exhaled breath, which may result in a false failure.

THIS IS A SAFETY-SENSITIVE POSITION: A safety-sensitive position has been defined as one where the employee's responsibilities impact the health and safety of themselves, coworkers and/or the public (in this case the end-user of our product). All production and production support positions fall into this category.
