  Low/Level Lift:                   Occasional            Up to 50 lbs (motors, ladders). Frequent        Up to 25 lbs   (hand tools, parts, spool of  wire, conduit).  Continuous Up to 10 lbs (hand tools, parts).

  Elevated Lift:                       Rare to Occasional              Up to 50 lbs to variable heights (motor installation, 2-person lift of full propane tank onto forklift). Frequent              Up to 20 lbs (inventory on shelves, work with ceiling fixtures/bulbs).

  Bilateral/Unilateral

  Weight Carry:      Occasional   Up to 50 lbs a distance of up to 100 ft (ladders, parts, tools). Frequent            Up to 25 lbs up to 100 ft (ladders, parts, tools).

  Forward

   Reach:  Frequent to Continuous at or below shoulder level (reaching into electrical panels to repair/inspect; using tools such as band saw, drill press, grinder pulling wire through conduit).

  Elevated Reach:  Occasional            (wiring tasks, repairs, bulb replacement).

   

  Repetitive/ prolonged         Occasional to Frequent       (varies depending on type of project).

   forward bend:

  Push/Pull:              Occasional            Up to approximately 75 lbs push/pull force. Varies from light to moderate to heavy force (pulling wires through conduit, initiating movement of heavily loaded cart).

  Stairs/Ladder Climb:           Occasional to Frequent       (stairs, vertical ladder, man lift, step ladder).

                                  NOTE: Climbing often done with approximately 25 lbs of tools in tool belt or pouch.

  Walk:     Frequent to Continuous

  Sit:          Frequent to Occasional      (computer tasks, forklift operation).

  Stationary Stand: Occasional to Frequent (working in man lift, repairs at work bench).

  Repetitive /                           Occasional            (accessing low panels, working under forming line or saw line,

  Prolonged Squat/                 motor repairs).

  Stoop/Kneel/

  Crawl:

  Balance: Able to work from heights (ladder climbing, work on man lift).

   

   

  Hand Strength/

  Coordination:       Functional Levels                (bending wire, hand tools, computer tasks).

                                  Depth Perception (moving throughout plant, forklift operation). 

                                  Color Vision   (color coded wiring).

  Hearing: Needed  For safety (forklift warnings, alarms) and communication with coworkers (use of 2-way radio).

  Speech:                                  Needed  For communication with coworkers (2-way radio).

  Sense of Smell:                    Helpful  (early detection of fire, overheated motors).

  Environmental Factors:      Exposure to temperature variations—frequent to continuous

                                  Exposure to loud noises—continuous

                                  Exposure to dust/fumes—frequent to continuous (varies with location of work).

                                  Exposure to vibration—occasional to frequent (power tools, varies with location of work).
