Responsibilities

Perform duties of Reviewing Medical Officer (RMO) to make medical recommendations to DEA about a worker's ability to perform their job duties safely by reviewing exams and associated medical documents within 30 days of receiving paperwork.

Perform clearance case reviews; make a determination about whether the applicant
or employee meets job specific medical standards to safely perform work that is arduous, involve a high degree of sensitivity toward the public or sensitive national security
concerns, or put employees at risk of hazardous exposures during the course of
performing essential job functions. The RMO determination shall address:
  • Whether the applicant or employee is medically cleared to work with or without
  • Whether the applicant or employee is medically able or unable to work.
  • Employee has a suspected work-related injury or illness.

  • Whether to accelerate exam frequency and/or further evaluation such as additional
    medical testing or a Fitness for Duty evaluation is warranted.

When conducting medical screening and medical surveillance case reviews, the RMO determines whether there is a change in the health status of an employee due to a
potential exposure at work. Requirements for these examinations fall under the general OSHA standard. The RMO determination will address:
  • Whether the health status of an employee has changed due to a potential workplace exposure.
  • Whether work areas require further evaluation due to medical information that raises suspicion for an unsafe work environment.

  • Assistance with developing medical guidelines and standards
  • Creating agency policies and standard operating procedures for medical issues
