ISO/FDIS 11226: Evaluation of Static Working Postures
conference paper
This paper describes ISO/FDIS 11226, the international standard on evaluation of static working postures. The scope, the evaluation procedure, and the current status are described.
The impact of static working postures on the musculoskeletal system was evaluated. The evaluation procedure considered various body segments and joints independently. It is stressed that the measures meant to induce variations of posture should not lead to monotonous repetitive work. It is stated that the work tasks and operations should provide sufficient physical and mental variation.
