[QUOTE="FracusBrown, post: 784725, member: 29360"] In order to blow the whistle there has to be a violation to blow the whistle on. I'd love to see where you found that the truck is manufactured in violation of OSHA safety standards or that it's against the law to require an employee to duck their head when entering or exiting a vehicle. In order to request reasonable accommodation you must have a legitimate handicap. Being of normal height is not a handicap. The standard also requires that the accommodation be reasonable, meaning that is must not unreasonable. Suggesting that every opening that every employee enters must be designed to meet the height of every employee is hardly reasonable. The employee must also be able to perform the basic functions of the job. Lifting, bending, lowering and entering and exiting the existing equipment is an essential function of the loaders job. Based upon your comments above, the Navy would need to make the sub doorways taller than every sailor on the sub or put the sailor on a bigger ship. A person diagnosed with claustrophobia (which is a legitimate handicap) would be entitled to unlimited open space in a sub???? [/QUOTE]
