Jobs are sedentary if walking and standing are required only occasionally and other sedentary criteria are met. Light Lifting 9kgs maximum with frequent lifting and/or carrying of objects weighing up to 4.5kgs. Even though the weight lifted may be only a negligible amount, a job is in this category when it requires walking or standing to a significant degree; or when it requires sitting most of the time with a degree of pushing and pulling of arm or leg controls; and/or when the job requires working at a production rate pace entailing the constant pushing and/or pulling of materials even though the weight of those materials is negligible.

Physical demand requirements are in excess of those for Light work. Heavy Lifting 45kgs maximum with frequent lifting and/or carrying of objects weighing up to 22kgs.
