    NIOSH Lifting Equation Scoring Sheet: Results

    Uploaded by

    Lucio Vieira
    The document is a scoring sheet for assessing lifting tasks using the NIOSH lifting equation. It contains tables with multipliers for factors like horizontal distance, vertical distance, load weight, lifting frequency, and coupling. The purpose is to calculate a recommended weight limit and lifting index for evaluating lifting tasks.

    Recommended Weight Limit (RWL)

    Lifting Index (LI)

    LI < 1: This lift may be acceptable.


    1 < LI < 3: This lift may increase the risk of low back or lifting injury.
    Controls should be considered

    LI > 3: This lift may exceed the capabilities of safely performing the lift for
    nearly all workers. Redesign of the lifting task is recommended.

    N/A* = One of the multipliers is equal to 0.


    Consider the Lifting Index here to be greater than 3 (and in the RED category)

    Use the smaller of the two RWL values and its


    corresponding LI value as the RWL and LI for the ENTIRE task.
