A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the NIOSH guidelines for manual lifting. Thirteen male subjects were required to lift three different boxes (25, 38 and 51 cm wide), at four different frequencies (0"2, 3, 6 and 9 lifts/min), and at two heights (floor level to bench height (0"8 m) and ben

✦ Synopsis
grinding, punch press work and fork lift truck driving. Two or more chair designs were compared for each task. The results from the methods were in agreement with one another. It was shown that more flexed spinal postures caused increased biomechanical load on the spine, increased discomfort and increased body height shrinkage. The methods were found to have limitations in different situations. 19.3.6 (107136) Mital, A., Fard, H.F., Khaledi, H., and Channaveeraiah, C.
