Summary/Abstract: The problem related to the inadequate position of workers during lifting heavy loads is the everyday life of many environments, such as industrial halls or warehouses, which often results in the deepening of the worker's spine load problem.An analysis of such a workplace was carried out in this paper. The workloads at specific body zones were determined, whether they were within the prescribed limits or exceeded it, and on that basis a redesign of the workspace was made in accordance to the anthropological values of the model.
