Resumen An ergonomic study was carried out in 4 school and hospital kitchens. It revealed that the hot to cold relay (meals are prepared well in advance and stored at 3°C before being reheated and served), changeover reduces the handling of heavy loads and eliminates the "last minute rush". On the other hand the division of labour seems to increase, which leads to a form of Taylorism. In cold-relay hospital catering, the staff is demotivated by the lack of overall view of the different phases of the job. Concrete recommendations on kitchen layout, choice of equipment, task distribution and training are made. Working conditions must be taken into account, as must technical hygiene standards, since they contribute to better meal quality and customer service.
