Light work is a type of job that involves some lifting and moving, but not too much. It includes walking, standing, sitting while pushing or pulling arm or leg controls, and lifting no more than 20 pounds, with frequent lifting or carrying of objects that weigh up to 10 pounds. This type of work is considered less physically demanding than heavy work, which involves frequent lifting and carrying of large items.

It is work that does not require a lot of physical exertion and is suitable for people who may have physical limitations or disabilities.
