Description
The NIOSH Lifting Equation calculator (NLE Calc) is based on the Applications Manual for the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation (Pub No. 94-110) and can be used to calculate the Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) and for single or multiple lifting tasks. The Lifting Index (LI) is an index of the relative physical stress for performing a single lifting task and the Composite Lifting Index (CLI) is an index of the overall physical stress for performing multiple lifting tasks. NIOSH recommends an LI and a CLI of 1 or less for protecting workers from physical stress related to development of low back musculoskeletal disorders. Please refer to the Applications Manual for the Revised NIOSH Lifting Equation publication for examples and details on how calculations are performed and what the results imply.

Ratings and Reviews
Okay, but some simple improvements needed
The user interface is easy and generally understandable. Very good for quick assessments.
There is an error with the tabs calculation details and recommendations: the content is reversed between the two.
The main improvement that is needed is a way to get the results out of the app so the records can be retained and consolidated. Without that capability, it cannot be widely used!
Inputs do not work
The destination fields are blocked for vertical distance and asymmetry. The calculations cannot be done without that data.
Lack of usability
User interface needs improvement, was required to use for a class and was disappointed.
