This European Standard applies to the interactions between the operator and the work equipment when installing, operating, adjusting, maintaining, cleaning, repairing or transporting equipment and outlines the principles to be followed in taking the health and safety of the operator into account. The ergonomic principles given in this European Standard fully apply to all ranges of individual ability. Information on dimensions will need to be interpreted to suit the intended population.
