7 BENCHWORK OCCUPATIONS
This category includes occupations concerned with the use of body members, handtools, and bench
machines to fit, grind, carve, mold, paint, sew, assemble, inspect, repair, and similarly work
relatively small objects and materials, such as jewelry, phonographs, light bulbs, musical
instruments, tires, footwear, pottery, and garments. The work is usually performed at a set position
in a mill, plant, or shop, at a bench, worktable, or conveyor. At the more complex levels, workers
frequently read blueprints, follow patterns, use a variety of handtools, and assume responsibility
for meeting standards. Workers at the less complex levels are required to follow standardized
procedures.
