OWCP has adopted the following Strength Level definitions to indicate the absence or presence and frequency
of the physical demand components requested on the OWCP-5b and OWCP-5c.
Physical Demand Definitions for the OWCP
LIMITS OF WEIGHTS LIFTED/CARRIED/PUSHED/PULLED
Rating Occasionally Frequently Constantly
Sedentary * - 10 * N/A
Light * - 20 * - 10 *
Medium 20 - 50 10 - 25 * - 10
Heavy 50 - 100 25 - 50 10 - 20
Very Heavy 100 + 50 + 20 +
* = negligible weight; N/A = Not Applicable
The range excludes the lower number and includes the higher number, i.e., the range 10 - 25 excludes 10
(begins at 10 +) and includes 25.
Very Heavy Work
Very Heavy work involves exerting in excess of 100 pounds of force occasionally, or in excess of 50 pounds
of force frequently or in excess of 20 pounds of force constantly to move objects, Physical demand
requirements are in excess of those for Heavy Work.
Heavy Work
Heavy Work involves exerting 50 to 100 pounds of force occasionally, or 25 to 50 pounds of force frequently,
or 10 to 20 pounds of force constantly to move objects. Physical demand requirements are in excess of those
for Medium Work.
Medium Work
Medium Work involves exerting 20 to 50 pounds of force occasionally or 10 to 25 pounds of force frequently
or an amount greater than negligible and up to 10 pounds constantly to move objects. Physical demand
requirements are in excess of these for Light Work.
Light Work
Light Work involves exerting up to 20 pounds of force occasionally or up to 10 pounds of force frequently, or a
negligible amount of force constantly to move objects. Physical demand requirements are in excess of those
for Sedentary Work. Even though the weight lifted may be only a negligible amount, a job/occupation is rated
Light Work when it requires: (1) walking or standing to a significant degree; (2) sitting most of the time while
pushing or pulling arm or leg controls; or (3) working at a production rate pace while constantly pushing or
pulling materials even though the weight of the materials is negligible. (The constant stress and strain of
maintaining a production rate pace, especially in an industrial setting, can be and is physically demanding of a
worker even though the amount of force exerted is negligible.)
Sedentary Work
Sedentary Work involves exerting up to 10 pounds of force occasionally or a negligible amount of force
frequently to lift, carry, push, pull, or otherwise move objects, including the human body. Sedentary work
involves sitting most of the time, but may involve walking or standing for brief periods of time. Jobs may be
defined as Sedentary when walking and standing are required only occasionally and all other Sedentary
criteria are met.
