The HSE reports posted above provide research showing danger zones for baggage handlers. Also the HSE has made recommendations for restrictions to 23-25KG to be a limit. BA has obviously gone for the lower limit to avoid any potential lawsuits.
50 pounds is 22,7kg so that is probably where it comes from
