Young, L L; Mossman, P B

As part of the program to employ persons having physical limitations or restrictions, a study to establish physical and mental requirements for various jobs was initiated. The entire spectrum of physical activity was analyzed for two jobs, those of custodian and mail carrier. Physical and ergonomic aspects of tasks as performed by custodians and mail carriers are tabulated. Time/task and precent time analyses were also performed for each job. Recommendations are made concerning the approximate range in which an organization could accommodate physically restricted employees without jeopardizing the health and/or safety of any employee.
