Abstract

Defines the main ergonomic risk factors influencing the safety of machinery and gives a framework for incorporating them into the design of machines by the integration of important ergonomic principles relating to: - avoiding stressful postures and movements during use of the machine; - designing machines, and more especially hand-held and mobile machines, which can be operated easily; - avoiding as far as possible noise, vibration, thermal effects; - avoiding linking the operators working rhythm to an automatic succession of cycles; - providing local lighting on or in the machine; - selecting, locating and identifying manual controls (actuators) so that they are clearly visible and identifiable and appropriately marked where necessary and; - selecting, designing and locating indicators, dials and visual display units.
