-- Posted by rock85cool at 8:27 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 I know government jobs can enforce weight standards military, law enforcement, NASA ect. but I'm finding it difficult to find private sector jobs that are allowed to enforce such policies. I googled it with no solid returns. -- Posted by vampireonion at 8:28 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Modeling agencies, acting agencies, etc. It's technically illegal, but it's well known that they impose weight requirements. -- Posted by Luxe at 8:31 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Quote: from vampireonion at 11:28 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Modeling agencies, acting agencies, etc. It's technically illegal, but it's well known that they impose weight requirements. This. Also works in the flip way. Some Modeling agencies have banned the usage of models underweight. -- Posted by vampireonion at 8:31 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Quote: from Ariete at 11:31 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Quote: from vampireonion at 11:28 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Modeling agencies, acting agencies, etc. It's technically illegal, but it's well known that they impose weight requirements.

And some boards for fashion week has set minimums. -- Posted by rock85cool at 8:35 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Quote: from vampireonion at 1:28 pm on Dec. 21, 2011 Modeling agencies, acting agencies, etc. It's technically illegal, but it's well known that they impose weight requirements. I was looking for companies US or other wise that allowed enforced weight standards.  I read a few article on obese/smokers not being able to be covered by a company's insurance policy but I'm looking for actually legal weight standards. -- Posted by rock85cool at 8:38 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 I would think some medical profession would have weight standards on their nurses or personnel who work in nursing homes. A job were first response is crucial to ones well being. -- Posted by Anonymous at 8:41 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Hmm. A number of years ago I read about casinos and clubs in Vegas that would hire cocktail waitresses and then monitor their weights. I'm not sure if that's still in effect though. -- Posted by vampireonion at 9:12 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Quote: from rock85cool at 11:35 pm on Dec. 20, 2011 Quote: from vampireonion at 1:28 pm on Dec. 21, 2011 Modeling agencies, acting agencies, etc. It's technically illegal, but it's well known that they impose weight requirements.

It's not going to be in the US because that's illegal. It's an unwritten rule. The insurance thing is as far as you'll get here. Try another country. -- Posted by tell me again at 2:34 am on Dec. 21, 2011 airline staff, modelling agencies (thus a company) and some waitresses will have these imposed on them. however it won't be written in an explicit way because as others have said, it's not legal. why do you need to find enforced weight standards? is it for an assignment or something?
