Re: laws on lifting

There are no statutory limits of how many pounds and frequency you are required to lift. But if you have limitation that is aggrevating a work-related injury, a doctor may put individual restriction that is suitable to your particular limitation. Restriction on weight, working hours and frequency of lifting is very normal. Call us at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
