Despite numerous efforts to control occurrences of work-related low back pain, it continues to be a significant problem. Since the causation of low back pain is under multifactorial control, it is suggested that the factor most vulnerable at any given time will determine the safety. Epidemiological, biomechanical, physiological, and psychophysical information presented in published literature has been analysed. The data available are related to injuries and the projected margin of safety. This paper therefore, is an integrative, inferential synthesis of the published work to discern the margin of safety. An attempt has been made to conclude, on the basis of objective evidence, an all encompassing criterion to ensure the safety of the back. The psychophysical approach appears to integrate biomechanical and physiological variables on a short term basis in the studies surveyed. However, it remains to be proven that the sensory conditioning due to prolonged and repetitive occupational tasks will remain responsive to cumulative load and fatigue failures.
