Body height and working height
Manual workstations must accommodate a wide range of body heights to ensure that the largest percentage of the population is covered. Country-specific differences and regional requirements must also be taken into account. For example, in Germany, DIN 33 406 must be followed when specifying and designing a workstation. The most important factors for designing work equipment are the working height, proper sizing of the reach zones and required leg
