  • Physical Effort: Heavy physical effort is used to perform work; requires constant reaching, bending, turning, and moving hands, arms, feet, and legs to handle different sets of controls to operate equipment and frequently adjust attachments. Considerable strain is caused by the constant vibration of the equipment and the jerking and jolting from operating over rough surfaces. Work is frequently performed in awkward or strained positions due to the location of the controls, attachments, and size of equipment. Semi-skilled trades and crafts work requires considerable standing, stooping, kneeling, bending, and working on ladders and scaffolds. Work intermittently requires incumbent to work in stretched, cramped, and awkward positions. Arm movement is considerable when using hand tools and power tools.
  • Working Conditions: Work is performed in all types of weather, often in an open driver's seat or platform, on hills, slopes, grades, rolling surfaces, and forests. The operator is exposed to injury due to the possibility of the equipment overturning. He is subject to noise, vibration, dust, dirt, and fumes from the motor and exhaust. Trades and crafts and heavy labor work is performed mostly outside in recreation areas with some work performed in a shop area or inside comfort stations.
