It was in yesterday's paper that the Police have introduced a fitness test and that 70% of the failures are from women doing the bleep test. Admit I am surprised seeing the porkers we have here.
But fit for purpose might be fine for an ammunition hauler or infantry. In the small RAF would you have a trade standard or a job standard?
Without singling out any trade, you have the telephone answer who could argue that BMI +25% is fine where they are working but could counter that the same role OOA demands fitness o fight if necessary.
It would, IMHO, have to be implemented trade wide.
