本国际标准为不同的工作任务制定了人体工程学建议。本标准规定: 向熟悉基本概念的工作、工作和产品的设计或重新设计人员提供信息 人类工效学，尤其是工作姿势。 它规定了静态工作姿势的建议限制，无需或仅需施加最小的外力， 同时考虑身体角度和时间方面。 它旨在为评估多个任务变量提供指导，允许工作人员的健康风险 待评估人群。 它适用于成年工作人口。这些建议将为几乎所有健康人提供合理的保护 成人。有关健康风险和保护的建议主要基于以下方面的实验研究: 与静态工作姿势相关的肌肉骨骼负荷、不适/疼痛和耐力/疲劳。

This International Standard establishes ergonomic recommendations for different work tasks. This standard provides information to those involved in design, or redesign, of work, jobs and products who are familiar with the basic concepts of ergonomics in general, and working postures in particular. It specifies recommended limits for static working postures without any or only with minimal external force exertion, while taking into account body angles and time aspects. It is designed to provide guidance on the assessment of several task variables, allowing the health risks for the working population to be evaluated. It applies to the adult working population. The recommendations will give reasonable protection for nearly all healthy adults. The recommendations concerning health risks and protection are mainly based on experimental studies regarding the musculoskeletal load, discomfort/pain, and endurance/fatigue related to static working postures.
