The legalities in all countries are different from where you are writing from. I notice you have answers from UK, America & Australia. Where you are, would be of help in pinpointing your answer
Why dont you make an addition to your question and tell us which country you are in.

the rationalization in the back of the decrease i'm not sure of. yet definite if the burden exceeds that decrease and the corporate is interior there rights below the regulation, they might deliver a guy to do the heavy lifting. all persons are differant and in case you're able then you particularly could permit your organization understand this. yet while it particularly is the regulation they may be retaining thereselves from a lawsuit. Buisnesses could be careful what they do or they may be ruined by technique of an unforseen incedant that doesn't be lawful. appreciate there rights to boot as they might desire to appreciate yours.

In the UK under the Health and Safety act no limits are specified. Under the old Office, Shops and Raiway Premises act limits were set for men, women nd children under 16, but these went out years ago. However, under the Health and Safety at work act, no employer can demand you lift anything you are not capable of.

When I worked at UPS, it didn't matter if you were male or female. You had to be able to lift 50 pounds, and if it were over 50 pounds, you were supposed to get another employee to help you. They were also required by OSHA to provide you with weight belts if you requested one.
