ErgonomicsErgonomicsErgonomics is the science of designing the job,equipment, and workplace to fit the worker.

The work that is done at a workstation is all-important here:

• Monitoring work at a control station• Telephone and reading work• Everyday screen work• Written work• Testing, etc.

The following factors must, however, be harmoni-zed with one another with the work at the monitorworkstation in order to increase efficiency and mi-nimize the amount of sick days:

1. Desk setup2. Space requirement and room layout3. Lighting4. Acoustics5. Room climate6. Aesthetics and well-being at the workstation

12

Workstations – holistic planning

These factors are handled differently by legislators,standardization institutes and insurance carriers.While the legislators (occupational health and safetylaws, health and safety at work act, EU directives, mo-nitor workstation legislation, etc.) determine the rulesand regulations, the standardization institutes projectthe “current state of technology”.

Insurance carriers, such as the respective employer’sliability insurance associations, for example, provide“validated ergonomic findings”. §4 of the Labor Pro-tection Act provides standardization institutes and

DIN, ISO and EN standards andemployer’s liability insurance as-sociation regulations with the re-quired legal character.

Whether it be new developmentsor customized products, Knürrcomplies in its design and deve-lopment work with these gene-rally applicable ergonomic rules.

Room planningWorkstations – holistic planning

Room planning

4. Acoustics

• The noise level for office and controlrooms recommended by experts is 35-40dB (A) and 55 dB (A) should not be excee-ded.

• Knürr specifically prevents sound-carryingwith the correct use of materials and pre-ventive room planning. This includeswrapping disturbing sound sources or in-creasing sound-absorbing surfaces byapplying the appropriate materials tofloors, ceilings, walls, window fronts, cabi-net panels and partition panels, etc.

5. Room climate

On request our climate engineers and work-station experts run tests to ensure that therequirements and standards for room tem-perature, air humidity and airflow speed areall complied with.

6. Aesthetics and well-being at the workstation

Numerous individual and subjective fac-tors have an effect here – and these shouldbe determined together with the em-ployee.
