# Print Binding and Finishing Workers

*/Occupations/Print_Binding_and_Finishing_Workers*

Total Employment: 70

## Digital Scalar

**Band**: physical
**Digital**: 0.15
**Rationale**: Weighing strong physical signals from Work Activities like Controlling Machines and Processes (4.29) and Handling and Moving Objects (4.04), alongside Work Contexts such as Spend Time Standing (4.71) and wearing protective equipment (3.93). While 11 of the 30 tools are digital (segment 43) for management and estimating, the remaining 19 tools and the core daily tasks firmly ground this role in physical machine operation and material handling.
