Ergonomic features
I.1.1
Certification
The ergonomic features of your product, that may influence your physical and cognitive interaction with it, have been assessed and
certified.
A product with ergonomic features, in fact, shall fulfil specific ergonomic requirements, belonging to three different areas: Polytechnic,
Biomedical and Psychosocial (usability and satisfaction).
For each of these areas, specific tests with real users have been performed. The product is therefore compliant with the ergonomic
acceptability criteria requested by the standards applied.
I.1.2
General recommendations
The oven or the blast chiller that you use is specifically studied and tested in order to minimise any physical problems associated to the
interactions with the product.
The loading and unloading of the trays and the interaction with the product may bring to incongruous postures and handling of heavy
weighs – characteristics of your daily activity that we tried to relieve.
In any case we would like to suggest a few operating procedures to adopt:
• Handle the tray in a balanced way, trying not to arch your back during the loading/unloading.
• If possible, flex your legs and don’t bend forward your back during the placement of the trays in the lower shelves and during the
achievement of any lower tools or items.
• If possible, try to place the trays in the cavities considering their weighs, as suggested by the pictures below.
• If possible, push the tray holder trolley and pull it in order to reduce the distances.
• Keep the viewing distance in order to understand properly the information displayed in the display or to view the object in the cavity,
reducing as much as possible the time spent with the eyes up (neck extensions).
Suggested movement of trays according to their weights
Try to place the trays into the cavities considering their weighs as suggested by the pictures below.
