Personal safety
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
all
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Ergonomics guidelines
Consider your workstation as you read through this list
of general ergonomic guidelines and see if you can
identify areas for improvement in posture, component
placement, or work environment.
• Take frequent breaks and change work positions
frequently.
• Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the
work task.
his
• Adjust for convenient reach range by determining
where parts or tools should be located to avoid static
load.
• Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs
appropriate for the work task.
• Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with
static holding during assembly operations.
• When working above shoulder level, reduce the load
on the static muscles by reducing the weight of the
tool, using for example torque arms, hose reels or
weight balancers. You can also reduce the load on the
static muscles by holding the tool close to the body.
• Make sure to take frequent breaks.
safety
• Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly for
operations requiring a degree of force.
• Adjust for convenient field of vision by minimizing
movement of the eyes and head during the work
task.
• Use the appropriate lighting for the work task.
• Select the appropriate tool for the work task.
• Use ear protection equipment in noisy environments.
• Use high-quality inserted tools or consumables to
minimize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.
• Minimize exposure to reaction forces.
• When using direct-driven screw or nutrunners:
Reaction forces depend on tool setting and joint
characteristics. The ability to bear reaction forces
depends on the operator's strength and posture.
Adapt the torque setting to the operator's strength
and posture and use a torque arm or reaction bar if
the torque is too high.
• Use dust extraction system or mouth protection mask
in dusty environments.
