difference between the RWLs and MAWOL99 ~. The difference was smaller for the student group. Finally, the load constant (LC) of the NIOSH lifting equation was obtained using multiple regres- sion, For the students it was 20.24 kg (R 2= 0.73)...

Load Constant (CC): This represents the maximum mass that can be safely lifted under ideal conditions and is determined based on the gender and age of the workers. If there are employees of both genders and various ages, the value that corresponds to the group with the lower lifting capacity...
