The position involves working primarily in an ultrasound laboratory, with approximately 10% of examinations performed portably.

Employees actively using medical marijuana are excluded from safety-sensitive employment, even if they hold a valid medical marijuana card.

The role requires moderate lifting and patient and equipment positioning, frequent lifting of objects heavier than 50 pounds, difficult manipulative and hand-eye coordination skills, and the ability to walk and stand for prolonged periods. The employee may frequently be exposed to blood, body fluids or tissues, and electromagnetic radiation from CRTs/VDTs. The position also requires sustained concentration on fine detail despite constant interruptions, attending to tasks for 45 to 60 minutes, retaining multiple tasks over long periods, and communicating verbally using an advanced vocabulary.
