Americans with Disabilities Act

If you have a disability and are qualified to do a job, the ADA protects you from job discrimination on the basis of your disability. To be protected under the ADA, you must have a substantial—as opposed to a minor—impairment. (A “substantial” impairment is one that significantly limits or restricts a major life activity such as hearing, seeing, speaking, walking, breathing, performing manual tasks, caring for oneself, learning or working.) If you have a disability, you must also be qualified to perform the essential functions or duties of a job, with or without reasonable accommodation, in order to be protected from job discrimination by the ADA.

Individuals who are seeking certification and require reasonable accommodations must provide ACI Certification with a letter from their physician that outlines the recommended accommodations. ACI will review the request and formulate a recommended course of action for the Sponsoring Group (Testing Center) to follow. All requests are handled on a case-by-case basis and must be made allowing enough time for evaluation and appropriate action by ACI.

Individuals certified through this program are typically expected to be capable of reading, comprehending, and executing procedures requiring strenuous physical activity, and possess a level of fitness required to safely execute the procedures. By selecting the appropriate statement on registration form, you are asserting that you are aware of the physical abilities and fitness level appropriate to participate in the program without accommodation for either permanent or temporary disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), or have contacted ACI and are in the process of applying for accommodation in accordance with ADA.

To contact ACI Certification, call (248) 848-3790 or email aci.certification@concrete.org.
