(a) The recipient shall provide for, and shall adhere to, a schedule
for the review of the appropriateness of all job qualifications to
ensure that to the extent job qualifications tend to exclude handicapped
individuals because of their handicap, they are related to the
performance of the job and are consistent with business necessity and
safe performance.
(b) Whenever a recipient applies job qualifications in the selection
of applicants, employees or participants for employment or training or
other change in employment status such as promotion, demotion or
training, which would tend to exclude handicapped individuals because of
their handicap, the qualifications shall be related to the specific job
or jobs for which the individual is being considered and shall be
consistent with business necessity and safe performance. The recipient
shall have the burden to demonstrate that it has complied with the
requirements of this paragraph.
