    Labourers in mining, construction, manufacturing and transport mainly perform simple and routine tasks in connection with mining, construction, manufacturing and transport, requiring the use of simple hand-held tools and very often considerable physical effort.

    Tasks performed by labourers in this sub-major group usually include: digging, shovelling, lifting, moving, carrying, clearing, loading, unloading; cleaning disused workings in mines and quarries; spreading gravel, carrying bricks, and performing similar tasks in the construction of roads, dams, or buildings; working on demolition sites ; carrying out simple tasks in manufacturing, including product-sorting and simple hand- assembling of components, where it is not necessary to follow strictly laid-down rules; packing by hand ; freight handling: pedalling or hand-guiding vehicles to transport passengers and goods.

    Supervision of other workers may be included.

    Occupations in this sub-major group are classified into the following minor groups:

    931 Mining and construction labourers
