Introduction
When designing and constructing machinery, the manufacturer should meet the essential requirements for safety
and health set out in the Machinery Directive. The manufacturer should assess the hazards of the machine and
consider these hazards related to the life cycle of the machine.
This European Standard is one of several ergonomic standards for the safety of machinery. EN 614-1 describes
the principles to be applied by designers in order to accommodate ergonomic factors.
This standard has been prepared to be a harmonised standard in the sense of the Machinery Directive and
associated EFTA regulations.
This European Standard is a type B standard as stated in EN 1070.
The provisions of this document can be supplemented or modified by a type C standard.
NOTE For machines which are covered by the scope of a type C standard and which have been designed and built
according to the provisions of that standard, the provisions of that type C standard take precedence over the provisions of this
type B standard.
Manual handling of loads can lead to a high risk of injury to the musculoskeletal system if the loads to be handled
are too heavy, and/or handled at high frequencies for long durations and/or in awkward postures. Disorders of the
musculoskeletal system are of a common occurrence throughout Europe. Manually applied effort is often required
by operators working with machines for their intended purpose. Risks exist if the design of the machinery is not in
accordance with ergonomic design principles. When designing and constructing machinery where manual handling
is required, this standard provides relevant data for working posture, load, frequency and duration. The design
criteria given in this standard can be used by the designer when making risk assessments.
This standard requires machinery designers to adopt a three stage approach to:
a) avoid manual handling activities wherever possible;
b) utilise technical aids;
c) further reduce the inherent level of risk by optimising handling activities.
For machines and their component parts which cannot be moved or transported by hand, see 4.2 in
EN 292-2:1991.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies ergonomic recommendations for the design of machinery involving manual
handling of machinery and component parts of machinery, including tools linked to the machine, in professional
and domestic applications.
This European Standard applies to the manual handling of machinery, component parts of machinery and objects
processed by the machine (input/output) of 3 kg or more, for carrying less than 2 m. Objects of less than 3 kg are
1)
dealt with in prEN 1005-5 . The standard provides data for ergonomic design and risk assessment concerning
lifting, lowering and carrying in relation to the assembly/erection, transport and commissioning (assembly,
installation, adjustment), operation, fault finding, maintenance, setting, teaching or process changeover and
decommissioning, disposal and dismantling of machinery.
This standard provides current data on the general population and certain sub-populations (clarified in annex A).
This part of the standard does not cover the holding of objects (without walking), pushing or pulling of objects,
hand-held machines, or handling while seated.
This document is not applicable to specify the machinery which are manufactured before the date of publication of
this document by CEN.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the

4 Recommendations for the design of machinery and component parts where objects
are lifted, lowered and carried
4.1 General principles
In order to minimise the risks to the health and safety of the operator, when lifting, lowering and carrying the
machine or component parts, the designer/manufacturer of the machine shall:
a) establish whether or not a hazard exists when manual handling activities are performed in relation to the
intended use of the machine. If a hazard exists, the risk assessment model should be applied. (see 4.3.1, 4.3.2
and 4.3.3);
b) remove the hazard by excluding the need for manual handling activities (lifting, lowering and carrying) for the
machinery or machinery-linked objects (see 4.2.1). If this is not possible, provide technical aids, additional to the
system (see 4.2.2), and/or design/redesign the machinery and machinery-linked objects according to ergonomic
principles (see 4.3);
c) provide technical specifications and instructions so that machinery is used appropriately and in the intended
manner covered by the risk assessment, technical specifications and instructions for use.
In all cases, the designer shall provide instructions concerning construction, transport and commissioning, use and
decommissioning of the machinery (see 4.4) to prevent risks for safety and health.
Technical aids for manual handling should preferably be incorporated into the machinery design and the machine.
