Problem 1

Origin of lift:
Here,
LC = 23 kg (fixed factor)
HM = 25/H = 25/100 = 0.227
Where, H = (50+60) = 110 cm
VM = 1-0.003*|V-75| = 1-0.003*|90-75| = 0.955
Where, V = 90 cm
DM = 0.82 + (4.5/D) = 0.82 + (4.5/70) = 0.884
Where, D = (90-20) = 70 cm
AM = 1-0.0032*A = 1-0.0032*(45) = 0.856
Where A = 45
FM = 0.75 (1 lift/min = 0.75)
CM = 1 (fair)
Origin RWL = RWL = LC*HM*VM*DM*AM*FM*CM =
23*0.227*0.995*0.884*0.856*0.75*1 = 2.829
Lifting Index = Weight/RWL = 10/2.89 = 3.535

Destination of lift:
LC = 23 kg (fixed factor)
HM = 25/H = 25/50 = 0.5
Where, H = 50 cm
VM = 1-0.003*|20-75| = 1-0.003*|20-75| = 0.835
DM = 0.82+(4.5/D) = 0.82+(4.5/70) = 0.884
Where, D = (90-20) = 70 cm
AM = 1-0.0032*A = 1-0.0032*0 = 1
Where, A = 0
FM = 0.75 (1lift/min = 0.75)
CM = 1
Now,
Destination RWL = 23*0.5*0.5*50*0.835*0.884*70*1*0.75*1 = 6.366
Lifting Index = Weight/RWL = 10/6.366 = 1.57

Conclusion:
 Origin: In starting the value of lifting index is 3.535. Which is not close to
standard lifting index. The start of the lift is dangerous since LI>3.The “stress
level” is LI: 3.535, the larger of the values. This could be the point where lower
back injury will occur. The task setup must be changed at the origin, or increased
job screening, medical monitoring and training must be introduced.
 Destination: Here lifting index value is 1.57.which is less than the standard value
3. The end of the lift is acceptable and safe since LI<3. Here LI = 1.57.

Problem 2

Origin of lift:
Here
LC = 23 kg (fixed factor)
HM = 25/H = 25/85 = 0.294
Where, H = (50+35) = 85 cm
VM = 1-0.003*|V-75|= 1-0.003*|60-75|=0.995
Where, V = 60 cm
DM = 0.82 + (4.5/D) = 0.82 + (4.5/30) = 0.97
Where, D = (60-30) = 30 cm
AM = 1-0.0032*A = 1-0.0032*(30) = 0.904
Where, A = 30
FM = 0.55(since 3 lift/min = 0.55)
CM = 0.90 (poor grip)
Origin RWL = 23*0.294*85*0.995*0.97*0.904*0.55*0.90 = 2.803
Origin Lifting Index = Weight/RWL = 15/2.803 = 5.35

Destination of lift:
Here,
LC = 23kg (fixed factor)
HM = 25/H = 25/35 = 0.714
VM = 1-0.003*|V-75| = 1-0.003|30-75| = 0.865
Where, V = 30 cm
DM = 0.82+ (4.5/D) = 0.82+ (4.5/30) = 0.97
Where, D = (60-30) = 30 cm
AM = 1-0.0032A = 1-0.0032(0) = 1
Where, A = 0
FM = 0.55 (3 lift/min = 0.55)
CM = 0.90 (poor)
Now,
RWL = LC*HM*VM*DM*AM*FM*CM = 23*0.714*0.865*0.97*1*0.55*0.90 = 6.821
Destination Lifting Index = Weight/RWL = 15/6.821 = 2.199

Conclusion:
 Origin: In starting the value of lifting index is 5.35 which is greater than standard
lifting index. As LI>3.So the start of lift is dangerous. The task setup can induced
back pains. So the task setup should be change
 Destination: So the end of the lift is acceptable and safe since LI<3. Here LI =
2.199.
