Security Police Officer Medical Disqualification Standards. G. Waiver of Security Police Officer Medical Standards and Time
Extension to Meet Physical Fitness Standards.
(1) Waivers of elements of the medical standards of this appendix
may be granted for certain otherwise disqualifying medical or physical
deficiencies by the cognizant field office management provided that:
(a) The DOE field organization authority, in consultation with a
designated physician, determines that a certain medical or physical
defect may be considered for waiver without compromising the intent of
these medical standards to assure that all security police officers are
capable of safely and effectively performing all normal and emergency
duties.
(b) The individual demonstrates by medical examination and/or
practical test, as determined necessary by a designated physician, the
ability to perform effectively and safely all routine and emergency
duties.
(c) A statement of demonstrated ability must be prepared by a
designated physician and must clearly (1) identify the individual, (2)
state the nature and degree of the specific medical or physical defect,
and (3) record the satisfactory medical evaluation and/or performance of
the practical test required by a designated physician.
(d) Waivers shall be reviewed, revalidated, and reissued at
intervals not to exceed one (1) year.
(e) Individuals who have been adversely affected by application of
the standards may appeal the denial of waiver to the cognizant DOE
safeguards and security field office for review within 60 days after the
adverse action. Further evidence may be offered relating solely to the
medical or physical fitness of the individual involved. Such individual
may select a representative of his or her own choice to assist and/or
appear in the individual's behalf in any appeal. After findings and a
determination have been made at the field office level, such individual
has a right to petition the Director of Safeguards and Security, DOE
Headquarters, within 30 days of the field office's determination for a
final determination based upon his or her review of the record of the
case.
(2) There will be no waivers granted from the physical fitness
standards set forth in paragraph F of this appendix. However, time
extensions not to exceed 6 months may be granted on a case-by-case basis
for those individuals who, because of a temporary medical or physical
condition as certified by a designated physician, are unable to satisfy
the physical fitness standards within the required time period without
suffering undue physical harm.
