Essential Communication Functions: The role requires the ability to receive, understand, and respond to safety-critical instructions in dynamic, high-risk environments. Crew members must communicate effectively with supervisors and coworkers while working around heavy equipment, elevated structures, rigging, and rapidly changing conditions. Communication may occur through spoken English, written English, ASL, text-based systems, visual cues, or other reasonable accommodations. Certain tasks occur in fast-moving contexts where only immediate verbal comprehension in English is operationally feasible because no alternative communication method can be used without creating delay or increasing safety risk.
