Physical stress

In this section, the goal is to get a good picture of the physical strain your job involves beyond what can be considered normal daily activity (such as moving between locations).

Physical stress at work can manifest itself in many ways.

Physical exertion - e.g. lifting or carrying objects or people and pulling, dragging or pushing objects that involve physical exertion.
Physical endurance - for example, if the job requires employees to stand, walk, run, or otherwise exert their endurance.
Repetitive movements - e.g., repeatedly performing simple movements at a speed or intensity that results in physical strain, e.g., sewing, crafting, using steering equipment, ....
Forced working conditions - for example, when people have to work in conditions where there is congestion or other restrictions on employees being able to maintain a comfortable posture.
Working in a situation that involves vibration/impact that affects the muscles/body.
Working in situations that require wearing heavy, restrictive, or otherwise physically demanding protective equipment?

When assessing physical strain, the employee's ability to take a break from situations or tasks that cause physical strain is considered. When assessing physical strain, the frequency of exposure to stress, intensity, and duration are taken into account.

Keep in mind that physical strain can be subtle and not always easy to recognize. Something that is not generally considered physical exertion can become very demanding if it is repeated frequently or for a long time. For example, standing may seem like a small effort for a short period of time, but if it is done continuously for a long time, it becomes physical exertion.

Please answer honestly and to the best of your knowledge, it helps us build a true picture of the job and the physical strain it entails.

What best describes the physical demands your job places on you during a typical workday?
