1. What is the recommended weight limit (RWL) at the origin and at the destination? STEP 1. Measure and record task variables STEP 2. Determine the multipliers and compute the RWLs DEST. RWL

OBJECT WEIGHT _()=50 RWL 2. What is the lifting index (LI) at the origin and at the destination? 3. What do the calculated LI values say about the potential hazard of the task? 4. Make some recommendations on how to reduce the potential hazard. 5. How would these recommended modifications reduce the multiplier values on the worksheet? (How do your recommendations compare to the original task?) 6. What would the revised LI and RWL values be with these modifications?
