ABSTRACT

Avoid straight-line, jerking arm motions. 10. Design so arm movements pivot about the elbow rather than around the

shoulder to avoid stress on shoulder, neck, and upper back. 11. Design the primary work area so that arm movements or extensions of more

than 15 in. are minimized. 12. Provide dials and displays that are simple, logical, and easy to read, reach,

and operate. 13. Eliminate or minimize the effects of undesirable environmental conditions

such as excessive noise, heat, humidity, cold, and poor illumination.
