## Environmental Factors

Work is performed in both office and field settings, outdoors and inside
buildings. Manual dexterity may be needed to operate equipment and use
tools. Incumbents must be able to respond anytime when emergencies
occur. Incumbents may be required to lift moderate to heavy weights.
Travel to various locations may require private means of transportation.
Work in all types of weather can be expected. Wastewater systems and
confined spaces are common throughout each district and are hazardous
(disease, ventilation, and entrapment issues) and the Facilities Manager
must be able to access, evaluate, and assist in these areas. Entering
areas immediately after flooding, fires, and other natural and man-made
disasters are essential for evaluation. Correctional, Mental Health, and
Lab Facilities include infectious disease, risk of assault, mental
abuse, and cross contamination of evidence issues.
