    Two workers want to lift a 36 kg load. The one-person guide for this lift is 20 kg. What should they conclude?

    • AIt is fine, because a pair of workers can lift 40 kg
    • BTeam lifts are never allowed under EU law, whatever the weight

    答案: C. It is over the 30 kg team guide, so find an aid

    20 x 1.5 = 30 kg, which is less than 36 kg. EU-OSHA's checklist multiplies the one-person limit by 1.5 for two people, not by 2.
