A pre-hire will not be permitted to take the physical fitness test more than three time in any 12 month period.

Passing Score
If all parts of the test are completed properly and within the time limits, a passing score shall be issued. Failure of any portion of the test shall result in a failing score. The entire test must be repeated if any portion is failed.

Health and Safety Precautions
Any individual taking a physical fitness test is assumed to have no physical/medical condition which would affect testing. If at any time during the test, the examiner conducting the test observes symptoms which may indicate an unsafe health condition, the test will be stopped. If the test is stopped by the examiner because of an unsafe health condition, an incomplete will be issued. When medically cleared to take the test, the participant will be allowed to retake the test without having the attempt count against them.

Requirements

The Physical Abilities Test consists of the following:

Test	Description
Weight Carry	A 40 lb. weight will be carried a total distance of 100 feet. Half-way through, the weight will be placed down on the floor and picked back up again.
Stair Climb	To achieve ascending a six story building, five flights of stairs will be ascended and descended. Candidates will have to climb up and down a four step staircase fifteen times. The four step ladder is exactly 1/3 a flight of stairs in a standard U.S. building.
Obstacle Run	Candidates will run approximately 330 feet. They will loop around a total of six cones. The cones will be staggered approximately 45 feet apart.
Peg Board	A candidate will have to manipulate a "notched" peg to place it into a peg board in a specific direction (much like a key). They will need to insert a total of ten pegs in the peg board.
Dummy Drag	A 165 lb. dummy will be dragged 22.5 feet to a turnaround point and back. The total drag will be 45 feet. The dummy will start face-down on the ground, feet facing the center court. The candidate must flip the dummy stomach up and turn the dummy so its head is facing the center before starting to drag. When returning the dummy back across the line, the candidate must return the dummy to a stomach down position.
Lie-Down/Stand-Ups	Candidate will lie down on their back, then stand up with knees straight and lie down on their stomach and stand up with knees straight. This will constitute one cycle. They will need to complete five cycles.
