Page 5: Additional Conditions and Demands
In this section, click on the corresponding checkboxes to indicate the Environmental Conditions,
Psychological/Mental Demands, and Sensory Demands of the job. Additional comments can also be
noted in the comment boxes provided.
Document evaluation and approval procedures vary between companies. For this reason, four options
have been provided for your use when indicating who has been involved in performing each PDD. You
do not need to use all four boxes if it is not necessary for the procedures of your company. In the "Type
Name" box, type the name of the individual who completed, evaluated, approved, or validated the PDD.
The "Insert Signature" line gives you the option to insert a digital signature, or to sign the form manually
after it has been printed. Beside each signature row, the date should be entered.
Page 6: Addendum
The addendum has been provided for you to include up to 7 photos (in addition to the one included on
page 1) of the job being performed. It is not necessary to include additional photos for all jobs – but a
visual representation of the job being performed adds value to the analysis, and can be useful for a reader
who is unfamiliar with the job. Below each photo box is a text box. Click in the area below each photo to
indicate a caption of what the photo depicts.
TO PRINT/SAVE
Once satisfied that the PDD has been completed, return to page 1 and click on the "Print Form" button in
the top left corner of the page. You can print one or more hard copies of the PDD on your printer, or save
an electronic version.
If you are using a professional edition of a PDF viewer
Select "Save As" and give each PDF a meaningful name. With the addition of many photographs, the file
size will likely be quite large. To decrease the file size, you can create a PDF of the fillable form. To do
this, select File > Print > and choose Adobe PDF instead of your regular printer.
Warning: You will no longer be able to edit this file. Therefore when prompted, ensure to give it another
name so as not to save over the fillable version.
If you are using a free version of a PDF viewer
You may not be able to save the completed form as an electronic copy without first installing PDF
creation/converter software. There are many free versions of PDF creation/converter software available
on the internet to allow you to do this.
