PHYSICAL DEMANDS

Physical Demands data elements provide a systematic way of describing the physical activities that an occupation requires of a worker. The assessment of these elements is focused primarily on the physical demands of the job - not the physical capacities of the worker. Physical Demand refers to the level and/or duration of physical exertion generally required to perform occupational tasks (sitting, standing, walking, lifting, carrying, reaching, pushing, and pulling).

Climbing Ramps/Stairs: Ascending or descending ramps and/or stairs using feet and legs. Hands and arms may be used for balance (e.g., to hold a railing). Note: Stairs involved in commute/getting into a building are excluded if work is always performed in one building. Stairs onto a vehicle or a piece of machinery/equipment are included.

Communicating Verbally: Expressing or exchanging ideas by means of the spoken word to impart oral information to clients or the public and to convey detailed spoken instructions to other workers accurately, loudly, or quickly.

Crawling: Moving about on hands and knees or hands and feet.

Crouching: Bending body downward and forward by bending legs and spine.

Far Visual Acuity: Clarity of vision at 20 feet or more. This is not just the ability to see a person or object, but the ability to recognize features as well.

Fine Manipulation: Picking, pinching, or otherwise working primarily with fingers rather than the whole hand or arm as in gross manipulation.

Foot/Leg Controls: Use of one or both feet or legs to move controls on machinery or equipment. Controls include, but are not limited to, pedals, buttons, levers, and cranks.

Gross Manipulation: Seizing, holding, grasping, turning, or otherwise working with hand(s). Note: Fingers are involved only to the extent that they are an extension of the hand.

Hearing Requirements: The ability to hear, understand, and distinguish speech and/or other sounds (e.g., machinery alarms, medical codes/alarms).

One-on-one (in person)

Group or conference (in person)

Other sounds

Keyboarding: Entering text or data into a computer or other machine by means of a keyboard. Devices include traditional keyboard, 10 keypad, touch screen and other.

Kneeling: Bending legs at knees to come to rest on knee(s).

Lifting/Carrying: Lifting is to raise or lower an object from one level to another (includes upward pulling). Carrying is to transport an object -- usually by holding it in the hands or arms but may occur on the shoulder. Up to 20 pounds

Near Visual Acuity: Clarity of vision at approximately 20 inches or less (i.e., working with small objects or reading small print), including use of computers.

Peripheral Vision: Observing an area that can be seen up and down or to the right or left while eyes are fixed on a given point.

Pushing/Pulling: May involve use of hands/arms, feet/legs, and/or feet only done with one side of the body or both sides.

Pushing - Exerting force upon an object so that the object moves away from the force

Pulling - Exerting force upon an object so that the object moves toward the force

Reaching At/Below Shoulder Level: Extending hand and arms from 0 up to 150 degrees in a vertical arc. Reaching requires the straightening and extension of the arm and elbow and the engagement of the shoulder. The elbow does not need to be locked at any time and the arm does not need to remain in a continuously straight position.

Reaching Overhead: Extending hands and arms in a 150 to 180 degrees vertical arc. Reaching requires the straightening and extension of the arm and elbow and the engagement of the shoulder. The elbow does not need to be locked at any time and the arm does not need to remain in a continuously straight position.
