. A field worker in Florida is loading orange crates into trucks. The worker on the ground lifts the crates (10 in. high and 10 in. deep, 30 lbs) similarly to the worker in the truck. He lifts it from the ground and lifts it to the flat bed of the truck (50 inches high) where another worker will position it properly. Assume that the lift from the ground is fairly optimal, but that the reach onto the truck is fairly bad at H=20 inches. The worker lifts at a frequency of 0.5 lift/min for an 8-hour shift. Please determine whether the job exceeds allowable limits according to the NIOSH guideline?
