Safety of machinery - Human physical performance - Part 4: Evaluation of working postures and movements in relation to machinery

This European Standard presents guidance when designing machinery or its component parts in assessing and affecting health risks due only to machine-related postures and movements, i.e. during assembly, installation, operation, adjustment, maintenance, cleaning, repair, transport, and dismantlement. This European Standard specifies requirements for postures and movements without any or with only minimal external force exertion. The requirements are intended to reduce the health risks for nearly all healthy adults.
This European Standard is not applicable to the machinery, which is manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard by CEN.

Sicherheit von Maschinen - Menschliche körperliche Leistung - Teil 4: Bewertung von Körperhaltungen und Bewegungen bei der Arbeit an Maschinen

Diese Europäische Norm enthält für die Konstruktionsphase von Maschinen und Maschinenteilen Leitsätze für die Beurteilung und Beeinflussung nur von maschinenbedingten Körperhaltungen und Bewegungen, d. h. während der Montage und der Installation, des Betriebes und der Einrichtung, der Wartung, Reinigung und Reparatur, des Transports und Abbaus einer Maschine. Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt die Anforderungen für Körperhaltungen und Bewegungen ohne oder nur bei minimaler Kraftausübung. Die Anforderungen zielen darauf ab, die Gesundheitsrisiken für nahezu alle gesunden Erwachsenen zu reduzieren.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Maschinen, die hergestellt wurden, bevor CEN diese Europäische Norm veröffentlichte.

Sécurité des machines - Performance physique humaine - Partie 4: Evaluation des postures et mouvements lors du travail en relation avec les machines

Le présent document expose des recommandations qui, lors de la conception des machines ou de leurs éléments,
permettent d’évaluer les risques pour la santé et d’influer sur ceux-ci. Il s’agit uniquement des risques liés aux
postures et mouvements en rapport avec les machines, à savoir ceux auxquels on est confronté pendant le montage,
l’installation, le fonctionnement, la mise au point, l’entretien, le nettoyage, la réparation, le transport et le démontage.
Le présent document spécifie des prescriptions pour les postures et les mouvements n’exigeant aucune charge
externe, ou en tout état de cause, une charge externe minimale seulement. Ces prescriptions visent à réduire les
risques pour la santé de presque tous les adultes sains.
Ce document n’est pas applicable aux machines fabriquées avant la date de publication du présent document
par le CEN.

The provisions of this European Standard can be supplemented or modified by a type C standard. For machines which are covered by the scope of a type C standard and which have been designed and built according to the provisions of that standard, the provisions of that type C standard take precedence over the provisions of this type B standard.

EN ISO 12100-1:2003 apply. 4 Requirements 4.1 General It is recommended that those using this European Standard should first refer to EN 1050, EN ISO 12100-1,
EN ISO 12100-2, and EN 614-1. The requirements conveyed by this European Standard formally apply to all machine-related actions. Assessing each individual action may be impracticable, therefore those actions which are frequently undertaken or are infrequent but may give rise to risk of pain, fatigue or disorder shall be part of the risk assessment. NOTE It is emphasised that the requirements in this European Standard should not be used to regulate work organisation. Above all, machinery design shall allow for variation between and while sitting, standing, and walking. Awkward body postures and movements shall be avoided (e.g. kneeling, crouching). Good design shall encourage low frequency movements and avoid painful and tiring postures and high frequency movements (see 4.3). This European Standard adopts a stepwise risk assessment approach for assessing postures and movements as part of the machinery design process (see Figure 1). The approach detailed in this European Standard makes a distinction between:  Evaluation without operators: When there is no full-size model/prototype of the machinery or its parts currently available (see 4.2.5);  Evaluation with operators: When a full-size model/prototype of the machinery or its pa
