XIV. Guidelines for Physical Demand Validation (PDV) Analysis

Physical demand validation analysis was performed based on guidelines established by the United States

Department of Labor (USDL) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Validation

of physical demands of 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. The physical demands described in this functional job description represent typical

physical demand requirements of 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.

XV. 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, and reaches using tape measures.

4. Photography

Physical demand validation analysis was performed under the direction of Trevor Bardarson PT, OCS,

CBES & Richard W. Bunch. Ph.D., P.T., C.B.E.S., WorkSaver Employee Testing Systems, LLC.
