Safety of machinery - Human physical performance - Part 4: Evaluation of working postures and movements in relation to machinery

Publication date:   Feb 28, 2007

Scope

This European Standard presents guidance when designing machinery or its components parts in assessing and controlling health risks due to machine-related postures and movements, i.e. during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, cleaning, repair, transport, and dismantlement. The standard specifies requirements for postures and movements without any or with only minimal external force exertion. The requirements are intended to reduce the risks for nearly all healthy adults.
Basic concepts and general ergonomic principles for the design of machinery are dealt with in EN 292-1, EN 292-2 and EN 614-1.
This document is not applicable to specify the machinery which is manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CEN.
