Physical Fitness Standards. Recognizing that a physically fit firefighting force is 38 essential to maintaining efficiency and avoiding costly injuries, the City and the Union shall 1 cooperatively establish fitness standards and encourage the maintenance of such standards for all 2 employees of the Fire Division.
Physical Fitness Standards. Section 1. The Town of Brunswick and the BPBA jointly recognize that an employee's physical condition and fitness can have significant implications for the employee while in the performance of his or her duties. Therefore, all employees covered by this contract are encouraged to maintain a level of physical fitness appropriate to the demands of police work.
Physical Fitness Standards. The City of Mt. Pleasant shall institute 19 minimum physical fitness and maintenance standards and related policies and 20 procedures to achieve and test compliance with such standards. Terms and conditions 21 of such standards are recognized to be the result of the collective bargaining process 22 between the City and the Union. The Policy containing such standards will be referred 23 to as the Mt. Pleasant Public Safety Fire Department Physical Fitness and 24 Maintenance Standards Policy, and shall be made a part of the Standard Policy and 25 Procedure Manual of the Mt. Pleasant Public Safety Fire Department. 26 Initial standards will be instituted as soon as reasonably possible after January 1, 1995, 27 through a joint committee of Employer and Union representatives.
Physical Fitness Standards. (A) All employees shall be required to undergo a comprehensive physical examination once every three (3) years by a physician selected by the employee from a list of three (3) physicians mutually agreed upon by the Union and the City. The cost of such examination will be borne by the City. The employee will take the examination on his/her own time at no overtime cost to the City.
(B) If an employee is diagnosed as having a propensity toward hypertension or heart disease or if the employee is found to have existing hypertension or heart disease, he/she shall be required to follow the medical advice of the examining physician.
(C) All employees shall participate in a physical fitness test to be developed and agreed upon by the City and the Union to consist of exercises to measure flexibility, strength and endurance. Age will be considered when scoring the physical fitness tests. The standards, tests and implementation procedures are as agreed in a separate Physical Fitness Testing Manual. The intent of Section B and C is to promote fitness and not to force early retirements. A good faith effort on the part of the employee and evidence of some continuing measurable progress will meet the intent of the fitness standards. Likewise a valid medical reason substantiated by the City may excuse an employee from meeting a specific standard while the condition exists. The City will not discipline an employee while either or both of these cases apply.
(D) The parties agree that there is a need for education of employees in the causes and prevention of hypertension and coronary heart disease as well as the promotion of good nutrition, stress reduction, etc. The employer agrees to provide speakers and materials for education in this area. Such education shall include advice on the causes of hypertension and coronary heart disease, weight control, diet counseling, physical exercise, smoking cessation, stress management techniques, and improving mental health. The Union will allow these instructions to be conducted in the evening hours for members on duty and for those members who wish to attend while off duty at no cost to the City in terms of overtime or callback pay.
Physical Fitness Standards. CENSECFOR courses of instruction require instructors who possess the fitness and conditioning to support the level of instruction. Instructors shall be personally capable of performing all training evolutions including the ability to effectively complete weapons qualifications in the standing, kneeling and prone positions, ascend or descend ladders and go through narrow passageways, and be free of any abnormal fear of heights. The contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that each instructor meets these standards at time of employment, and that these fitness standards are sustained throughout their assignment to the contract. Each contract instructor shall sign a Statement of Understanding acknowledging the above requirements. This document shall be filed in the ITJ.
Physical Fitness Standards. Physical fitness standards for sworn, non- management fire employees are contained in the Physical Fitness/Wellness Program which is attached as Exhibit 1 to this MOU and which is herein incorporated by reference. The City agrees to provide a specified amount of time, whenever practical, for employees to participate in approved physical fitness activities during their assigned shift. Normally, this shall be at the beginning of the shift.
Physical Fitness Standards. 1. The Contractor shall have a program, for all field personnel, including field supervisors, and including pre-hire testing, annual testing, and remediation for those who fail the annual test, and dismissal for failure to remediate, to ensure that all field personnel, including field supervisors, are physically able to perform their duties in a safe and effective manner.
