The Bottom Line: “2” is the New “3”
12/09/2020
Back by popular demand! The Bottom Line video, "2 is the New 3", produced in 2015, is the most-watched installment of this series. Since the content is still relevant, and our ergonomics consultants continue to get questions about manual material handling and lifting limits, we decided to share it again. Watch.
In summary, certified ergonomist Blake McGowan explains:
-
- how the NIOSH lifting equation helps users determine the acceptability of a lifting or lowering task
- that the tool predicts low back pain
- why the lifting limit was reduced from 3.0 to 2.0
