1.
The total weight per minute 2.
The maximum total weight per min 3.
The total weight per hour 4.
The maximum total weight per hour 5.
The total weight per day 6.
The maximum total weight per day Judgment of the acceptability of the

Program NIOSH: calculation of the index of lifting
according to NIOSH method This index was proposed by The index is evaluated from
estimates of ·
The force necessary to complete the
tasks ·
The duration of the efforts (in % of
the cycle time) ·
The number of efforts per minute ·
The postures adopted by the
wrists/hands ·
the work
speed ·
The work duration per day From this index and on the
basis of data presented by the authors, I propose the estimate of My
