Resumo: | The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship of the Lifting Index obtained through the application of the NIOSH Lifting Equation and the incidence of low back pain among forty-eight workers involved in manual lifting tasks. It was applied the equation in eleven tasks and the workers were interviewed. The most unfavorable conditions presented themselves in the lifting destination. The variables that most contributed to the inadequate values of the Lifting Index were: the horizontal location, the lifting frequency and the vertical distance, beyond the high weight of the load. The incidence of low back pain in the last twelve months was 19%, whereas the incidence of work-related low back pain in the same period was 10%. In 72.7% of the tasks evaluated the Composite Lifting Index was more than three, which are considered as high ergonomic risk. |

Aplicou-se a equação em onze tarefas e realizou-se entrevista com os trabalhadores. As condições mais desfavoráveis apresentavam-se no destino do levantamento. As variáveis da tarefa que mais contribuíram para os valores inadequados do Índice de Levantamento foram: a distância horizontal, a frequência de levantamentos e a distância vertical; além do peso elevado da carga. A incidência de lombalgia nos últimos doze meses foi de 19%, enquanto que a incidência da lombalgia relacionada ao trabalho, no mesmo período, foi de 10%. Em 72,7% das tarefas avaliadas o Índice de Levantamento Composto foi superior a três, sendo consideradas como de alto risco ergonômico.
