2. The Multitask Equations  The multitask procedure considers the collective effects of all the tasks.  The procedure calculates the cumulative effects defined as:

3. Sum of the Change in LI

4. The multitask procedure  1. Compute the Frequency-Independent Recommended Weight Limit (FIRWL) and Single-Task Recommended Weight Limit (STRWL) for each task.  2. Compute the Frequency-Independent Lifting Index (FILI) and Single-Task Lifting Index (STLI) for each task.  3. Compute the Composite Lifting Index (CLI) for the overall job.

5. Multitask Example
