Managerial Direction. the extent ranges from managerial direction through general to minimal. Account should be taken of the amount, level and degree of the direction. This factor measures the type, amount, continuity and frequency of the physical effort required by the job. It covers stamina as well as strength. It takes into account all forms of bodily effort, for example, that required for standing and walking, lifting and carrying, pulling and pushing. It also includes the physical demands involved in working in awkward positions, for example, bending, crouching, stretching; for sitting, standing or working in a constrained position; and for maintaining the required pace of work. Level 1: Tasks or activities are undertaken mainly in a sedentary position, and allow for considerable flexibility of movement. There may be limited requirements for standing, walking, bending or stretching; or an occasional need to lift or carry items. Level 2: The job involves either: (a) some ongoing physical effort (for example, regular sitting in a constrained position, or standing, or walking at a normal pace, for long periods); or: (b) normally limited physical demand, but with periodic requirements for considerable physical effort (for example, lifting or carrying, pushing or pulling items of light to moderate weight, rubbing or scrubbing, or working in an awkward position). Level 3: The job involves either: (a) ongoing considerable physical effort (for example, regular lifting or carrying, pushing or pulling items of moderate weight, rubbing or scrubbing, or working in awkward positions): or: (b) normally limited or some physical demand, but with periodic requirements for high physical effort (for example, lifting or carrying, pushing or pulling items of heavy weight, or working in very awkward positions). Level 4: The job involves either: (a) ongoing high physical effort (for example, frequent lifting or carrying, pushing or pulling items of moderate or heavy weight, rubbing or scrubbing, or working in very awkward positions): or: (b) normally considerable physical demand, but with periodic requirements for very high physical effort (for example, lifting or carrying, pushing or pulling items of very heavy weight, or manual digging). Level 5: The job involves ongoing very high physical effort (for example, frequent lifting and carrying, or pushing and pulling, items of heavy or very heavy weight, or manual digging).
