10 Ergo-Online Academy Copyright 2008 Ergo-Online, LLC 10 Things To Consider Determine what body dimensions are relevant. Determine what population group is relevant. Use the anthropometric data as a guide and a place to start. It does not replace employee input. Just because something does not fall within anthropometric guidelines does not mean it is a significant ergonomic risk. When designing workstations or equipment, you will never be able to accommodate everyone. You try to accommodate as much of the population as you can, given the space and cost parameters you have to work within.

25 Ergo-Online Academy Copyright 2008 Ergo-Online, LLC 25 Ear-Eye-Line The EE line is determined by using the ear- hole and the junction of the eyelids. The EE line describes the posture of the head and serves as reference for the angle of the line of sight.

26 Ergo-Online Academy Copyright 2008 Ergo-Online, LLC 26 Line of Sight The line of sight connects the pupil with the visual target. Eye movement within about 15 degrees above and below the average line-of-sight angle is still comfortable.

27 Ergo-Online Academy Copyright 2008 Ergo-Online, LLC 27 Choosing Working Postures Sitting –For accurate control, fine manipulation. –For continuous light manipulation work. –For close visual work with prolonged attention. –For limited headroom, low work heights.

28 Ergo-Online Academy Copyright 2008 Ergo-Online, LLC 28 Standing – For heavy, bulky loads – When frequent movement is required –When there is no knee room under the equipment –Where there is limited front-rear space Choosing Working Postures

29 Ergo-Online Academy Copyright 2008 Ergo-Online, LLC 29 Designing Lifting Tasks Lifting zones are based upon anthropometric data

30 Ergo-Online Academy Copyright 2008 Ergo-Online, LLC 30 Cost-Benefit Function Anthropometric cost-benefit function showing the percentage of members of a target population accommodated by various ranges of seat height adjustment.
