This change, which may be made at the agency's sole discretion and without further competition, shall not be construed or interpreted as the granting of a right to a selectee or employee to such an extension. No extension to a term appointment shall be granted to a selectee/employee to an amount of time that exceeds the maximum number of years authorized under any present or current regulation, unless such regulation expressly allows such action. Physical Demands: The work requires physical exertion. For example, long period of standing, walking over rough, slippery, uneven, or rock surfaces; recurring bending, crouching, stooping, stretching, climbing, or similar activities; recurring lifting of light to moderately heavy items weighing less than 50 pounds (such as testing, sampling, or measurement equipment). Work requires regular visits to construction, industrial, riverine, or other outdoor sites. Working Conditions: The work environment involves regular and recurring exposure to moderate risks and discomforts which require staying alert and taking special safety precautions, such as wearing special protective items of clothing, gear, or equipment (e.g., hard hat, steel toe shoes, eye and ear protection, respirator, etc.). Construction sites are typically outside and may include remote locations. May be exposed to dust, strong odors, or fumes from fuels, chemicals, or engine exhaust; high levels of noise and vibration; electrical hazards; moving parts and machinery. May be required to enter high voltage areas and/or contaminated areas, requiring the use of proper safety procedures and protective equipment and clothing. Special hazards may be involved in working on tunnels and shafts at extreme vertical heights and working around sites using explosives in performing excavation.
