SAMPLE CALCULATION
![Page 2: NIOSH LIFTING EQN.-ppt](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102600/5456f389af7959a8128b6172/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
SAMPLE CALCULATION The measured task variables when the worker is lifting:-
Load to be lifted= 20Kg
H1(origin)= 40cm V1(origin)= 50cm A1(origin)=0
H2(dest.) = 43cm V2(dest.) =0 A2(dest.) =0
D(dist.)= 50cm F (freq.) = 4 Duration (hrs) =1-2
C(coupl.) = Poor

FOLOWING ARE THE MULTIPIERS:-
AT ORIGIN
HM= 25/H=0.63
VM= 1-(0.003|V-75|)=092
DM=0.82(4.5/D)=0.91
AM=1-(0.0032A)=1
FM (from table)=0.72 CM(from table)=0.9
![Page 4: NIOSH LIFTING EQN.-ppt](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102600/5456f389af7959a8128b6172/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
AT DESTINATION
HM= 25/H=0.58
VM= 1-(0.003|V-75|)=0.78
DM=0.82(4.5/D)=0.91
AM=1-(0.0032A)=1
FM (from table)=0.72 CM(from table)=0.9
![Page 5: NIOSH LIFTING EQN.-ppt](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102600/5456f389af7959a8128b6172/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
RESULTSRWL=LC * HM *VM * DM * AM *FM * CM
RWL(origin)=7.8Kg
RWL(dest.) = 6.1Kg
LI(origin)= Load/RWL=2.6
LI(dest.) =Load/RWL =3.3
As the Lifting Index is more than one which indicates that the worker must be having problem of Low Back Pain, thus the layout is to be redesigned by redesigning the task variables
![Page 6: NIOSH LIFTING EQN.-ppt](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102600/5456f389af7959a8128b6172/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
REVISION OF THE UNSAFE RESULTS
THE RESULTS OBTAINED FOR THE ABOVE SAMPLE ARE UNSAFE. THUS WORKING LAYOUT IS REVISED BY REVISING THE TASK VARIABLES IN ORDER TO HAVE THE SAFER RESULTS i.e SAFE LOADING CONDITIONS OF THE WORKER.

SAMPLE CALCULATION The revised task variables when the worker is lifting:-
AT ORIGIN
Load to be lifted= 20Kg
H1(origin)=30cm V1(origin)=50cm A1(origin)= 0
H2(dest.) = 30 cm V2(dest.) =40 cm A2(dest.) =0
D(dist.)=10 F(freq.) =3 Duration(hrs)=1-2
C(coupl.)=Poor

AT DESTINATION
HM= 25/H=0.58
VM= 1-(0.003|V-75|)=0.9
DM=0.82(4.5/D)=1
AM=1-(0.0032A)=1
FM (from table)=0.79 CM(from table)=0.9
![Page 9: NIOSH LIFTING EQN.-ppt](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102600/5456f389af7959a8128b6172/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
REVISED RESULTSRWL=LC * HM *VM * DM * AM *FM * CM
RWL(origin)=12.6Kg
RWL(dest.) =12.2Kg
LI(origin)=Load/RWL=1.5
LI(dest.) = Load/RWL=1.6
As the Lifting Index is not less than one ,but the layout of work has been revised so as to reduce the LI to maximum possible extent. Thus summarising the revisions made as mentioned:

CHANGES DONE IN THE TASK VARIABLES
The worker is advised to be closer to the Origin and destination points in order to increase the HM
Raising the height of the Destination Point in order to increase VM
Reducing the lifting frequency in order to increase the FM
Further the LI can also be reduced by reducing the Load to be lifted
![Page 11: NIOSH LIFTING EQN.-ppt](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102600/5456f389af7959a8128b6172/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SOFTWARE DEVELOPED
FEATURES
The software has been made in C++ Programming Language.
It is used to calculate the RWL & LI using NIOSH Lifting Equation.
The input given to the software are the values of Task Variables.
The output comprises of the Multipliers along with RWL & LI.
