Notas: Sumario: The main objective of this study was to investigate human ability to discriminate between different levels of load heaviness in manual lifting. It was concluded that in order to assure reliable results of the psychophysycal approach to determining the values of maximum acceptable weight of lift, the ajustment process for male subjects should require using small weights of at leat 4 lbs (1.8 kg) to be added or removed from the lifted boxRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 35, nº 7-8, July-August 1992 ; p. 729-744Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Biomecánica Comportamiento humano Carga de materiales Riesgo laboral Seguridad e higiene en el trabajo Otros autores: Karwowski, Waldemar
