| Abstract |
These regulations (effective 1 Apr. 1987) apply to the workplaces of self-service shop cashiers. They lay down that the design, equipment and number of check-out cash systems should be adapted to the size of the shop and protect the cashiers from accidents and physical or mental stress, that the cashiers' tasks should be planned and organised so as to avoid undue stress, that the workplace should be designed for seated work and provide for free leg movement, that the seat should be adjustable and enable the operator to work standing, that the cashiers' tasks should not involve awkward movements, that the personnel should not be exposed to draught nor to excessive temperatures, that the noise level should be low enough to allow normal speech communication with the customers, that the illumination level should be adapted to the price-reading task, that the prices should be well legible, and that the check-out work should be organised so as to avoid the risk of violence and armed robbery.
