Position Description Title/PD#: Air Conditioning Equipment Mechanic/PD00368A

Physical Requirements:: The duties require considerable movement around the hospital and involve bending, lifting, work from ladders, both in and outside the building, and crawling through restrictive areas. The incumbent must occasionally lift equipment or materials weighing fifty pounds or more with proper equipment. Assignments may require him/her to stand, stoop, kneel, climb and work in tiring and uncomfortable positions. He/she is standing or walking much of the time and must be in good overall physical condition. Physical capability to regularly walk long distances, dexterity and accurate eye-hand coordination, and corrected 20/20 vision and accurate color perception are required.

Work Conditions: Most work is performed inside, but the mechanic is frequently subject to sudden temperature changes when working on equipment such as walk-in freezer units. The mechanic is occasionally subject to cuts, burns, electrical shock, and respiratory aggravation. Exposure to repeated, prolonged or concentrated amounts of refrigerant gases may cause toxic effects to the eyes, skin, and internal organs. The mechanic may also be exposed to high voltage, dust, chemicals, solvents, and contagious disease. The mechanic is occasionally required to work outside, on top of tall buildings, in drafty attic spaces, and in cramped, confined areas with low overheads. Uncomfortable face masks and protective clothing may occasionally be worn as necessary when there is a possibility of exposure to hazards such as toxic refrigerants. The mechanic works on larger, more complex systems with large quantities of refrigerants, thus exposing the mechanic to larger amounts of escaping gases when making emergency repairs. The mechanic is often exposed to dust, grease, and soiling of clothing and skin.
