Awkward body posture

Awkward body postures describe body postures that are critical from an ergonomic perspective and that arise as a result of the conditions of a "bekannten (bestehenden) Arbeitssystems".

Explanation

Awkward body postures are all working positions that involve having the arms at shoulder height or above the head, with a flexed trunk, or squatting/kneeling, which the worker has to sustain for longer than 4 seconds.

Note:

The "Awkward body posture" criterion is taken into account only for a "bekannten (bestehenden) Arbeitssystemen". Otherwise, in case of an unknown work system, the "Distance to previous pos. location" criterion is evaluated.
