This European Standard deals specifically with task design in the context of machinery design, but the principles and methods may also be applied to job design.
This European Standard is directed to designers and manufacturers of machinery and other work equipment. It will also be helpful to those who are concerned with the use of machinery and work equipment, e.g. to managers, organizers, operators and supervisors.
In this European Standard the designer refers to the person or group of persons responsible for the design.
Sicherheit von Maschinen - Ergonomische Gestaltungsgrundsätze - Teil 2: Wechselwirkungen zwischen der Gestaltung von Maschinen und den Arbeitsaufgaben
Diese Europäische Norm legt ergonomische Grundsätze und Verfahren fest, die bei der Gestaltung von
Maschinen und den Arbeitsaufgaben der Operatoren zu befolgen sind.
Diese Europäische Norm befasst sich speziell mit der Gestaltung der Arbeitsaufgabe in Zusammenhang mit
der Gestaltung von Maschinen, aber die darin enthaltenen Grundsätze und Methoden dürfen auch auf die
Gestaltung von Tätigkeiten (job design) angewandt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm richtet sich an Konstrukteure und Hersteller von Maschinen und anderen
Arbeitsmitteln. Sie wird auch denjenigen von Nutzen sein, die sich mit der Anwendung von Maschinen und
Arbeitsmitteln befassen, z. B. Führungskräften, Organisatoren, Operatoren und deren Vorgesetzten.
In dieser Europäischen Norm bedeutet Konstrukteur die Person oder Personengruppe, die für die Gestaltung
verantwortlich ist.
Sécurité des machines - Principes ergonomiques de conception - Partie 2: Interactions entre la conception des machines et les tâches du travail
La présente norme européenne établit les principes ergonomiques et les méthodes à suivre lors du processus de
conception des machines et des tâches du travail de l'opérateur.
Cette norme européenne traite en particulier de la conception des tâches dans le cadre de la conception des
machines, mais les principes et les méthodes peuvent également s'appliquer à la conception du travail.
La présente norme européenne s'adresse aux concepteurs et aux constructeurs de machines et autres
équipements de travail. Elle apporte également une aide à tous ceux concernés par l'utilisation des machines et
des équipements de travail, par exemple les dirigeants d’entreprise, les organisateurs, les opérateurs et autres
superviseurs.
Dans la présente norme européenne, le terme «concepteur» fait référence à la personne ou au groupe de
personnes responsable de la conception.

Introduction
This European Standard helps the designer in applying ergonomics principles to the design of machinery,
focusing especially on the interaction between the design of machinery and work tasks.
This is essential since the quality of design and safety of machinery depends on the prospective operators
being able to perform their tasks with the machinery in a safe and competent manner. Applying ergonomics
principles to the design of machinery and work tasks aims at minimizing the discomfort, fatigue and other
impairing effects faced by the operator and thus contributes to the optimal functioning of the work system (EN
292-2:1991, Annex A.1, 1.1.2 (d)) and reduces the risks of negative health effects. Therefore, good design
follows ergonomics principles, starts with the specification of system functions and anticipates how the
prospective operator will interact with the machinery and other work equipment.
In the design of machinery and work tasks, the physical aspects of the operator's activities are not the only
design parameters to be dealt with. Operator activities also include the perception and processing of
information, determination of strategies, decision making and communication.
1 Scope
This European Standard establishes the ergonomics principles and procedures to be followed during the
design process of machinery and operator work tasks.
This European Standard deals specifically with task design in the context of machinery design, but the
principles and methods may also be applied to job design.
This European Standard is directed to designers and manufacturers of machinery and other work equipment.
It will also be helpful to those who are concerned with the use of machinery and work equipment, e.g. to
managers, organizers, operators and supervisors.
In this European Standard the designer refers to the person or group of persons responsible for the design.

hereafter. For dated reference subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications apply to
this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN 614-1 apply.
4 Principles of work task design
Work task design covers the analysis and specification of functions and their allocation to the machine or the
operator as part of the design process, and aims at contributing to the optimal functioning of work systems.
Therefore, good design follows ergonomics principles and gives special attention to the intended operator
population. Principles of good ergonomic design are given in EN 61
