The applications manual for the NIOSH lifting equation information is found at this site as a free downloadable pdf. The equation considers the weight of the object, the travel distance for the object, the distance the object is away from the body, the vertical lift distance, lift frequency and other factors.
The Ohio Bureau of Worker's Compensation has a nice weight lifting chart visually depicting areas and zones for acceptable lifts. It considers factors for weight, lift position, reach distance and degree of twist.
Curative care has a simple picture guideline for a box lift.
