Safety of machinery - Anthropometric requirements for the design of workstations at machinery

This International Standard establishes principles for deriving dimensions from anthropometric measurements and applying them to the design of workstations at non-mobile machinery. It is based on current ergonomic knowledge and anthropometric measurements. This International Standard specifies the body's space requirements for equipment during normal operation in sitting and standing positions. This International Standard does not specifically include space demands for maintenance, repairing and cleaning work. This International Standard does not give recommendations specifically for visual display terminal workstations at machinery. For this purpose ISO 9241-5 can be used in conjunction with this International Standard. Situations where people are to be prevented from reaching a hazard are dealt with in ISO 13852.

Safety of machinery - Anthropometric requirements for the design of workstations at machinery

Le présent document établit les principes des dimensions provenant des mesures anthropométriques en les appliquant à la conception des postes de travail des machines non mobiles. Il se fonde sur les connaissances ergonomiques et les mesures anthropométriques actuelles. Il spécifie les prescriptions spatiales pour le corps relatives aux équipements en utilisation normale, en positions assise et debout. Le présent document donne les moyens de se conformer aux exigences des Directives "Machines" 98/37/CE et 2006/42/CE (norme harmonisée).

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
