Document Summary
Ie 4461 chapter 7 questions: define work area. A work area is the environment that work is done in. The layout of the workplace should ensure smooth process flow so the workers can use the equipment efficiently. The worker must be able to see these components so work can be done: the designer must consider the volume and tone of signals that the operator must hear. Certain tones and volumes may blend into the environment: access and egress space must be provided at each work area. Proper clearances will allow for comfort when grasping and operating equipment and controls: reach and manipulation requirements these determine dimensions of the operation of controls, equipment, and seat adjustments. If extended reaches and exertion of forces are required frequently, the work area type that optimizes them should be the choice. If critical visual tasks are involved, the type that optimizes them is the choice: the duration of each work element is also important.
