text: The trend towards more psychosocial and emotional challenges at work**does not mean that ‘classical’**
  **exposures**or**ergonomically burdensome work has disappeared**. There is a large number of 
  workers in all sectors — between 40% and 75% in ESENER and the EWCS — who report**ergonomic**
  **risks**. These are, for example, repetitive hand and arm movements in industry and service occupations, 
  where a particularly high percentage is reported by low-skilled manual workers; moving heavy loads in 
  craft occupations, or patients in health and care occupations, where a particularly high percentage is 
  reported by high-skilled manual workers; and tiring and painful positions, where again the highest level 
  is reported by high-skilled manual workers. 
  
  Still a quite constant share of workers reports**exposure to physical risks like noise, vibrations, high**
  **or low temperatures and to chemical and biological agents**; depending on occupation and sector, 
  between 15% and 30% of workers are exposed to such risks (EWCS). No or very minor decreases in 
  these risks can be seen during the past 15 years.
