Physical Fitness. Program In recognition of the hazardous and physical nature of responding to emergency incidents, it is in the best interests of both the Township and OPBA to ensure that members possess the physical capacity to perform the arduous tasks of emergency response with efficiency and minimal risk. To this end, the Township and OPBA will collaborate to develop and implement a physical fitness program (“PFP”) for members. The purpose of the PFP is not punitive in nature, and it is not the intention of the Township to discipline participating members who are physically capable of performing the members’ duties, but who nevertheless do not meet targeted physical fitness objectives of the PFP. It is anticipated that the PFP will consist of numerous factors, including physical assessments, testing, examinations and fitness training. Members shall cooperate with and participate in all phases of the PFP. A member who does not meet the physical fitness criteria established by the PFP may be required to follow a specified physical fitness program. Members directed to follow such program will be subject to on-going evaluation in order to monitor the member’s progress toward meeting the fitness criteria. A participating member who is physically capable of performing his or her duties will not be disciplined for failing to meet the targeted physical fitness criteria. However, a member will be disciplined for failing to either cooperate with or participate in the PFP.
