In writing letters and supporting our correspondents, we often are asked about restrictions. One type of restriction is health related, and these can cover certain housing assignments, work assignments, and may include disciplinary and transportation restrictions.
Some of the restrictions concerning housing include single story facility assignments, assignment to facilities with extended clinic operation hours, and single-cell or first floor cell assignment restrictions.
Most medical restrictions have to do with work assignments. These can include limited standing, no long work hours (limited to four hours), limited lifting, no climbing, and no work in extreme temperatures or humidity.
For a list and description of these medical restrictions, please see document A-08.4, Attachment A, titled Guidelines for Completing the Health Summary for Classification Form.
