Ergonomic guidelines
Consider your workstation as you read through this list of
general ergonomic guidelines and see if you can identify ar-
eas for improvement in posture, component placement, or
work environment.
• Take frequent breaks and change work positions fre-
quently.
• Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the work
task.
• 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.
• 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 mini-
mize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.
• Minimize exposure to reaction forces.
• When cutting:
A cut-off wheel can get stuck if the wheel is either
bent or if it is not guided properly. Make sure to use
the correct flanges for cut-off wheels and avoid
bending the wheel during cut-off operation.
• When drilling:
The drill might stall when the drill bit breaks
through. Makes sure you use support handles if the
stall torque is too high. The safety standard
ISO11148 part 3 recommends using something to
absorb the reaction torque above 10 Nm for pistol
grip tools and 4 Nm for straight tools.
• 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.
