About Snook Lifting or Lowering Analyses
The Snook analysis is the standard for defining lifting or lowering limits within any manual handling scene. The following generic parameters are used in Snook lifting/lowering calculations:
• Hand position—distance from the body
• Vertical movement
• Overall posture
You can also enter other more specific parameters:
• Object weight
• Frequency
Defining and running a Snook analysis is an intuitive process that produces user-friendly ergonomic data.
