    • A23 kg
    • B15 kg
    • C25 kg

    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: B. 15 kg

    ISO 11228-1 gives 25 kg for men and 15 kg for women under ideal conditions; 23 kg is the NIOSH lifting equation constant.

11. Pytanie 11 z 16

    Which of these is part of the "ideal conditions" behind those reference weights?

    • ALifting while sitting down at a bench
    • BLifting for a full eight hours each day

    • DLifting with one hand from floor level
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: C. Lifting with two hands and no twisting

    Ideal conditions include two-handed lifting, no trunk rotation and less than one hour of lifting a day. Real work is often worse, so limits go down.

15. Pytanie 15 z 16

    A box is 80 cm long, 50 cm deep and 70 cm high. EU-OSHA's checklist suggests about 60 x 35 x 60 cm. What is the problem?

    • ANothing, it is within the suggested size
    • BOnly its height is larger than suggested
    • COnly its depth is larger than suggested
    • DIt is too big to hold close or see over
    Pokaż odpowiedź

    Odpowiedź: D. It is too big to hold close or see over

    80 > 60, 50 > 35 and 70 > 60, so all three sizes are larger than suggested. Large loads are hard to keep close and can block your view.

16. Pytanie 16 z 16
