ABSTRACT
This research aims to establish the Recommended Weight Limit (LPR) and the Survey Index
(IL) for an activity of manual lifting of pans containing milk for cheese production, in a
family cheese factory located in western Paraná. The activity is made by the handle of the
pan containing milk, lifting of it and then the placing of it on a stove. The average weight
of the pans is 15.5 kg. The task was performed, the necessary data were collected and the
NIOSH equation method was used to determine the Recommended Weight Limit (LPR) for
the safe handling of the load. It was also calculated the Survey Index (IL), which indicates
the relation between the current load and the recommended weight for the activity. The
results make us aware to a moderate risk of musculoskeletal injury to workers, suggesting
alternatives to improve working conditions and reduce health risks.
KEYWORDS: NIOSH. Recommended Weight Limit. Survey Index. Manual lifting of loads.
