Recruiting for Positions with a Health Hazard

Certain laboratory conditions or other work environments have been found to carry health risks for specific classes of individuals. When advertising for positions in which there is a risk of health to some individuals within a class, no restrictions should be placed on the applicants from that class.

For example, if a position carries a health risk to pregnant women, no restrictions should be placed on the sex of the applicants. Rather, qualified applicants should be informed by the hiring authority through written communications and oral discussion of the risks involved so they can make informed decisions concerning their interest in competing for the job.
