Job Description
Physical Conditions and Hazards:
The conditions in which an individual or staff works, including but not limited to such things as amenities, physical environment, stress and noise levels, degree of safety or danger, temperature, location.
This section objectively captures and describes the physical demands that are required to perform a particular job or role. Usually completed by the ergonomist
Usual mobility demands required are standing, walking, sitting, and stair climbing to access upper offices.
Equipment Utilized
This section describes the type of equipment an employee is required to use:
Computer
Phone
Mobile device
Medical Surveillance
May include: Anthropometrical Size Restrictions depending on task
Personal Protective Equipment
Applicable when interacting with shop floor (safety shoes, safety glasses, hearing protection. extraction coveralls)
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
