There are also a few other employees in management and clerical fields. The owner has just informed you that there are certain jobs, namely Loaders/Movers, for which he feels minimum strength requirements are Bona Fide Occupational Requirements (BFORs).
The typical crew sent out with a moving van is two to three people, and the working space is very narrow and crowded. It is difficult to work in that close-spaced environment. All of those workers are actively employed in moving and securing the household goods with one of them taking a lead-hand role. The typical loading job takes 6–8 hours almost all of which is spent engaged in physical work of lifting and carrying.
