The diverse nature of the work situations and the criteria of a physically demanding job make the choice of indicators a difficult one. The choice shall be made at the level of the Health and Safety Management Committee, suggesting to the GPEC Committee the definition of physically demanding work while in particular taking account of climatic conditions, geographical conditions, regulations or specific requirements. Proposals that might have to be based on contributions by experts (ergonomists, industrial medical advisors, etc.) must be produced within a period of one year from signing this agreement. This approach will be based in particular on the proposals of Health and Safety Committees or their equivalent, as well as those of Activity Committees for Health and Safety. Under this requirement, specific meetings may be organised by the Management Committee for Health and Safety. In general, the criteria determining irreversible effects from physically demanding work are as follows: • reduced life expectancy, • life expectancy altered by incapacity due to work, • frailty exacerbated by accident or illness, • physical or mental impairment. The aim of this approach is to contribute to improving working conditions, to redeploying employees through professional training and to specific measures for managing end of career.
