Temporary Parking: A Case Study

Dr. Price agrees with the changes requested by Chief Love, in reference to the “Temporary Parking questions”, per OSHA Manual 3.14.1 indicates that “Temporary Parking” for non-work related injuries, the Employee Occupational Health Service can make recommendations for temporary parking under the Reasonable Accommodations Policy. The second inquiry referring to change the word “less” to “more” is not valid. The policy states “The employee has a temporary medical condition that limits his or her ability to ambulate less than the distance between the designated employee parking areas and his or her work site location” (MCM 590-170-06, p.5). This means the employee’s condition limits his or her ability to ambulate less than the distance not
more, if the employee had to ambulate more than the distance- then the designated area would suffice, without regard of accommodation.
