Abstract
This paper presents comprehensive maximum acceptable weight of lift data for male and female industrial workers for 8-hour shifts. The experimental data collected in this study, for 8 hours, were compared with previous studies of Snook (1978) and Ayoub et al. (1978). Since data from all three studies compared favourably, they were integrated to develop comprehensive databases.Keywords
