Stress types

Economically active people are subject to a range of stresses and strains as a result of their daily work. Should the stress become excessive, it leads to consequential harm and to health problems. Machines and work equipment of good ergonomic design can reduce stresses and thus reduce the associated problems. An overview is provided here of the stress categories, together with examples of good practice for avoiding stress.
Overview

Machinery

Different types of machinery call for different tasks and consequently generate different forms of stress. Overlap also exists however, and solutions from one area may be suitable for transfer to others. A classification is provided here of different machine types. This can assist you in selecting suitable examples for your project.
