Static and dynamic balance

Keeps the body in balance while standing still and moving on narrow, high, sloping or moving surfaces while carrying out work.

How hrmforce measures this

Structured workplace observation with a form based on behavioural anchors.

This is a selection criterion, not a short-term development goal. Do not put a three-month development plan on it.

Level	Behaviour at this level
N1 Guided	Works stably on a flat elevation under guidance and keeps one hand free for the task. works under supervision and follows instruction · routine, one variable at a time · own task
N3 Proficient	Works in balance independently on scaffolding or a ladder, moves with material and keeps the operation accurate. sets own approach and seeks input proactively · several variables, some ambiguity · own team or process
N5 Leading	Carries out work in the least stable positions in the process, defines the safe method and guides others in it. sets the standard and the policy · strategic, under high uncertainty · organisation, value chain or profession

N2 and N4 are deliberately not anchored. Raters place them between the anchors, following the O*NET convention.

These skills inherit the assessment route and the behavioural anchors of this construct.
