Employees will work indoors approximately 95% of the time and outdoors 5% of the time. The facility is heated in the winter but not air-conditioned in the summer. Employees must be able to stand on concrete floors for a minimum of eight hours and may need to kneel, squat, bend over, and stand for long periods. The work environment can occasionally be loud, especially in areas where grinding or machine testing is taking place; ear plugs are provided and required where posted. Employees must be able to work with both live wire (up to 575V) and dead wire conditions, with live wire conditions making up less than 20% of the normal working environment.
