25kg ? That's nothing. I'd imagine it'll be more like 50odd.

I did agency work unloading lorries, some of the things on there were 60kg or so, that was my weight at the time too !

What a shit job that was.

If you could have a look at OPC bag, they are now 25kg I think.

What I mean is Cavey, that by law you should only lift this weight. We all know that every1 is capable of lifting more than this though.

in The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 there is nothing about wieght, I don't think it is actually law... however most companies have made 25kg the polocy becasue they don't want you claiming on them!

25kg I believe. Then half the weight and add it on top if there are two people. So two people can lift 37.5kg between them. Or at least thats what I think it is. Some strange equation when your talking more than one person.
