Revised NIOSH lifting equation: a critical evaluation.
The revised NIOSH lifting equation (RNLE) aims to manage lifting-related lower back pain (LBP), by determining safe load limits. Many researchers have studied the multiplier development criteria, the universal applicability of the equation and its ability to identify an increased risk of LBP in lift...

Many researchers have studied the multiplier development criteria, the universal applicability of the equation and its ability to identify an increased risk of LBP in lifting tasks. Although a number of strengths of the equation have been highlighted, many limitations have also been identified. The need for new multipliers, such as worker and environmental characteristics, was highlighted in order to make the equation more adaptable. The RNLE was designed to protect 75% of female workers and is therefore inherently conservative. Additionally, as all multipliers have values less than or equal to 1, the recommended weight limits (RWLs) can be further reduced. Thus, new multipliers may be defined, by combining two or more existing multipliers, to make the RWLs more realistic. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
