OSHA has no specific standards on lifting objects over any particular weight. The OSHA Ergonomics Standard, which might have addressed that, was vetoed by the US Congress and no replacement has been possible.

How can you prevent back pain when lifting heavy objects while bent over?

To prevent back pain when lifting heavy objects while bent over, you should use proper lifting techniques such as bending at the knees, keeping your back straight, and using your leg muscles to lift the object. Additionally, it is important to avoid twisting your body while lifting and to ask for help if the object is too heavy to lift alone. Strengthening your core muscles through exercise can also help prevent back pain when lifting heavy objects.


Do OSHA standards take presedence over army standards?

By Executive Order the Army, and the other branches of the US armed forces, are directed to provide occupational safety and health at least as stringent as that of OSHA. The executive branch administrative agencies (like OSHA) don't generally have authority on military installations, or in military operations. Typically there will be a military manual that essentually restates the civilian requirements, but is enforced by inspectors in the military. Of course, if the General has an issue and calls the local OSHA office an inspector would be willing do an inspection.

Why pulley can be helpful?

Pulleys can be helpful because they provide a mechanical advantage, allowing for easier lifting of heavy objects by distributing the force needed over multiple ropes or cables. They also allow for changes in the direction of force, enabling more flexibility in moving objects. Lastly, pulleys can help in lifting objects to higher heights by reducing the amount of effort required.
