This paper presents comprehensive maximum acceptable weight of lift (psychophysical lifting capacity) database for male and female industrial workers for lifting symmetrical and asymmetrical loads symmetrically and asymmetrically for 8h work shifts. The experimental data collected in previous studies on experienced (industrial) and inexperienced (non-industrial) materials handlers (Mital 1984a, Mital and Fard 1986) and the patterns of responses between the two populations (Mital 1985, 1987) were used to generate this database. Since previous work (Mital 1985, 1987) showed that responses of both experienced and inexperienced materials handlers to task variables are similar and also provided multipliers relating the psychophysical lifting capacities of the two populations, it was possible: (1) to convert psychophysical capacity data for asymmetrical lifting of symmetrical and asymmetrical loads, collected on inexperienced workers to reflect psychophysical lifting capacity of experienced workers for asymmetrical lifting; and (2) to take psychophysical lifting capacity data of experienced industrial workers for symmetrical lifting of symmetrical loads and generate from it their psychophysical lifting capacity for symmetrical and asymmetrical lifting of symmetrical and asymmetrical loads by using the response patterns of inexperienced workers to lifting symmetrical and asymmetrical loads symmetrically and asymmetrically. Both approaches were used and, as expected, provided almost identical values for the psychophysical lifting capacity of industrial workers for symmetrical and asymmetrical lifting of symmetrical and asymmetrical loads. Therefore, the final database tables provided in this paper used combined values generated by the two methods. |
