• Manual handling – PPE, harnesses, detectors, tools
• Stamina and tolerance – heat, restricted ventilation, low visibility, and enclosed environments
• Dexterity – fitting PPE, operating detectors, applying locks/tags
• Emergency readiness – ability to exit quickly under stress while encumbered
• Administrative tasks – permits, JSA, reports
