Working Environment and Physical Efforts
Working Conditions

There will also be frequent exposure to outside elements for short periods of time. Being outside will also expose them to material handling equipment such as forklifts, straddle trucks, and shag trucks.
Hazards
This job has exposure to occupational health and accident hazards such as cuts, scrapes, carpel tunnel syndrome, back injury and broken bones. This is due to standing, walking, and lifting 35 – 50 lb. 85% of the work shift. Exposure to the elements poses threats. Blowing dust and oil spills also create a hazard. For the most part, the accident hazard level is moderate, and any probable injury is due to performing improper lifting or moving of equipment without exercising reasonable care and observing safety regulations. Occasional exposures to falls are present while working at elevated heights.
Physical Effort
Physical effort is moderate to heavy. A high degree of physical effort is used due to continuous heavy lifting. Employee is lifting 35 to 50 lbs. approximately 80-90% of the time. Standing, bending, or walking is required 85% of the time. Loading ESS products can cause the employee to climb and lift in unusual positions. Securing platforms, containers and flatbeds means that the employee must be able to climb up to 8’ off the ground. Pushing and pulling to place carts in close quarters takes extra physical effort.
