Abstract:
A review is presented of British Standards having some relevance to ergonomics, and the Standards selected are classified into the various areas of ergonomics. Certain areas are discussed in some detail, in order to point out cases where practical problems, current standardisation and ergonomics knowledge are not wholly compatible. There is a brief discussion of the aims and methods of the British Standards Institution.

01:22Design Consideration
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
