Abstract On the basis of the major ergonomics textbooks listed in the appended bibliography, this information sheet reviews ergonomic and anthropometric data required for adequate adaptation of the workpost to each user. Recommendations deal with the dimensional characteristics of the workpost and the seating arrangement (height, depth, breadth, back and arm rests), the chair/desk relationship (foot rest, seating, work and sight planes) for general use or for typing, space for placing feet and legs and, finally, useful interior dimensions of drawers.
