Jeff No, MIL-STD 1472F is the only tool that you can use for multi-person lifts or carrying. NIOSH and ACGIH assume a single lifter, controlled situations. There is a video on youtube that covers the MILSTD I believe it is in with the ACGIH lifting guide
If you enjoyed the material, please consider adopting my new Text. It can be used in a number of ways from a single unit (hand tools) to a single unit with an evaluation tools (hand tools and comparison) to an entire undergraduate or graduate level course. Occupational Ergonomics: A practical approach by Stack and Ostrom There are review questions and if adopted for a course the instructor receives access to the PPT, exams (with key!), syllabus and other videos.
Very well explained. I too struggled considering we have to calculate for both Origin and Destination, and it can get really confusing figuring out the difference in values between these two
I am wondering if the NIOSH formula is applicable for a worker which carries a heavy awkward object long distance and up stairs? It seems like it is simply for lifting an object and placing it. Can you steer me to the right place. I have collected the variables and Im trying to help a group of workers which are being forced into a task which is obviously not safe. And maybe this can be modified after I present a case. Having trouble figuring this out.

Thank you for this. Ms. Stack, why does the D stay the same on both the origin and destination equations? What is the actual explanation for that? Thank you!

Thank you, Im an Industrial Engineering Graduate, Im about to take Certification Board Exam to become an Engr. Thank you for this!
Very nice explanation & presentation... I'll be expecting more valuable videos.. Thanks a lot.. it really helped me
Wow, Great explanation, made my learning easier as I was looking to get help outside and your video helped me !! Many thanks....
Thank you for the comment, I am glad to help in anyway!
Yes, it can be used for a lift or a lower
Good presentation. I now have a better understanding of this term and process.
Thanks very much, Theresa Stack, great work by u hope usefull for us in lift calucations
Can this equation be used for a worker lifting loads for more than 51 pounds?
Excellent
Great Video! Thank you.

because it is the distance traveled from the start to the stop so it is the same.
Hey Theresa! Thank you for the video. How many NIOSH RWL questions are on the exam and how much of the formula is provided?
Josh, the entire equation was given on the exam but you had to know how to use it. Thank you for watching. Its a good preparation for the CSP
Thank you!
Can NIOSH lifting equation be used for head loaders?
bhoomirajgor94 I do not understand the question. Can you provide more information
Theresa Stack these are manual labourers who carry loads on their heads, shoulders or upper back and load or stack the goods into a truck.
I just wanted a demo of the lifting equation not a drawn out wordy explanation of non pertinant info. Will look for a much simpler explanation.
Check out this manual it’s really good and has some great examples near the end
