A weight requirement can only be considered valid if it can be justified as a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (BFOQ) by the employer. This means that the weight requirement must be necessary for the job and directly related to job performance, and that there is no alternative way to accomplish the job requirements without the weight requirement.
