ERGONOMIC DESIGN

If you require a properly designed, ergonomic workstation or work bench, then its critical that it is designed considering the following requirements.

Correct Work Height
An operator’s arms should be below shoulder level
Precise tasks: 50mm below elbow
Light assembly: 50 -100mm below elbow
Heavy work: 100 - 200mm below elbow
Properly Adjust Work Equipment to the Task
Adjust the workstation:
Seat height and angle; footrest height and angle
Adjust the work piece and parts containers:
Work piece and parts containers in optimal positions (refer to points 3 and 4)
Work Piece & Parts Container Layout
Optimise container layout to reduce wasted motion and speed up throughput
Heavy and/or most used parts should be placed in the closest containers
Optimal container layout is within a 400mm radius, as measured from each shoulder
Working Area
Maximum grab area: 540mm radius, measured 160mm to the left and right from the
centreline and front edge of the work top
Optimum grab area: 280mm radius, measured 160mm to the left and right from the
centreline and front edge of the work top
Consider Fields of Vision
Operators should view the work piece without turning head or eyes
A 15° view angle requires no head or eye movement to grab parts
A 35° view angle requires only eye movement to grab parts
Viewing distance to a Monitor should be between 350mm and 750mm
Match Light Intensity to the Work Task
Standard assembly tasks: 500—750 lux
Complex tasks (e.g. electrical assembly): 1000—1500 lux
Delicate and/or critical work: 1500—2000 lux
Do Not Work Above the Heart
Keep all work below the heart to enhance blood circulation
Reduce static holding during assembly as it increases muscle fatigue
