• PHYSICAL EFFORTS:
  Repairs are made from ground, elevated work stands, or aircraft work decks. Parts are in hard to reach places. Climbing, standing, stooping, lying, bending, stretching, and working in tiring and uncomfortable positions is required. Moderately heavy physical effort is required in the frequent use of tiring work positions while handling tools and in the handling and lifting of heavy objects.
  
  Employee frequently lifts and carries parts and equipment that weigh up to 20 pounds. Most heavy lifting is accomplished through the use of mechanical devices, although the employee may occasionally be required to lift and carry items that weigh up to 50 pounds.
