B. 37-43 inches: above elbow height
C. 28-35 inches: heavy work
D. This task should be done while sitting.
ANS: A
Light (under 10 lb) packaging tasks are preferred to be done standing because downward pres-sure must be exerted. Standing work heights for light packaging are recommended at 34 inches to 37 inches, which is just below elbow height for the average population. These standards are from "Elements of ergonomics programs: a primer," Washington, DC, 1997, U.S. Gov Printing Office.
