Physical Effort. This factor measures the amount of physical effort (i.e., light, medium and heavy) and duration required. Also the levels of manual dexterity by considering the elements of speed and/or accurate hand/eye (or hand/foot) coordination.
Physical Effort. 1. On feet 90% of the time, cooking over hot stove 50% of time.
Physical Effort. Physical effort is the exertion and physical demand which is regular, recurring and inherent to the job. This factor presumes that all OH&S requirements have been met and are practiced.
Physical Effort. 1 On feet 90% of the time. 2 Lifting dish racks and operating large equipment.
Physical Effort. 1. On feet 90% of the time.
Physical Effort. This factor measures the intensity and cumulative duration of physical effort (physical positions and activities that generally produce fatigue) necessary to perform the job. Half-levels are not used in this subfactor. The cumulative time spent in activities is measured as follows: Rare Less than 1 hour Occasional 1- 2 hours Regular 2 – 3.5 hours Constant/Considerable More than 3.5 hours 1 Mostly low level of physical effort with occasional moderate intensity lasting up to less than 2 hours per day. ACTIVITIES NORMALLY DO NOT PRODUCE FATIGUE • Sitting, standing, regular movement, with choice of position (low) • Intermittent keyboarding throughout the work day (low) 2 Moderate level of physical effort for 2 to 3.5 hours per day with the rest of the day characterized as low intensity. OCCASIONAL PERIODS OF PHYSICAL EXERTION INVOLVING SOME FATIGUE Sitting, standing, regular movement without choice of position May involve moving moderate weight materials (e.g., 5 to 10 lbs/2.5 to 4 kg) which causes some fatigue Periods of sustained keyboarding (cumulatively 2 to 3.5 hours) Regular work with light tools and equipment 3 Moderate level of physical effort for more than 3.5 hours per day and/or a high level of physical effort for 2 hours or less per day. REGULAR/FREQUENT PERIODS OF MODERATE PHYSICAL EXERTION CAUSING FATIGUE Maintaining a fixed position --sitting or standing Constant active movement Regular lifting of moderate weight items or, pulling, pushing of heavy or awkward objects Regular use of heavy tools or materials May require climbing or walking over rough ground for moderate time periods on a regular basis Repetitive movements for sustained periods of time (e.g., keyboarding, scrolling and mousing) 4 High level of physical effort required for more than 2 and less than 3.5 hours per day and the balance of the day is a moderate level of intensity. STRENUOUS WORK INVOLVING CONSIDERABLE EFFORT AND FATIGUE • Working in cramped or uncomfortable positions for moderate time periods • Considerable effort on a regular basis but not over sustained periods 5 More than 3.5 hours per day is characterized as operating at a high level of intensity. SUSTAINED HEAVY LABOUR OR WORKING IN CRAMPED POSITIONS OVER CONSIDERABLE PERIODS Generally results in major fatigue • May involve lifting and moving substantial weights Application guidelines:
Physical Effort. Based on the tasks listed in Section 3, list which job duties require physical effort. Please list the task number that you listed in Section 3. In the Job Duty column, please indicate the type of physical effort used in performing the task. Indicate the percentage of your work-time devoted to each of these duties. TASK # JOB DUTY % OF TIME
Physical Effort. DEFINITION
Physical Effort. DEGREE DESCRIPTION
Physical Effort. Physical effort is the exertion and physical demand which is regular, recurring and inherent to the job. This factor presumes that all OH&S requirements have been met and are practiced.
Level 1 Light Work is primarily sedentary with unrestricted movement and limited physical exertion, for example: Keyboarding, writing Driving Lifting/carrying up to 5 kg. Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxx Work involves physical activity and exertion, for example: Standing/walking Bending/reaching/stretching Lifting loads from 6 to 15 kg. Climbing stairs Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx Work is physically demanding, for example: Physically demanding (sport/recreational activities) Physical effort above walking Lifting loads more than 16 kg. Climbing stairs multiple times over a short period or while moving objects or equipment Climbing ladders/scaffolding Manipulating/operating heavy tools/machines/equipment
