INTRODUCTION
These Guidelines contain requirements for the design of workplaces and work areas on offshore installations. The requirements comprise corresponding requirements developed in the draft CEN ergonomic standards. These, however, apply to all industry. The sphere of application of the various requirements in the CEN standards must therefore be further defined, and must be supplemented with requirements of a special interest to the offshore industry.
1. 1.1
PURPOSE AND APPLICATION Purpose The Guidelines specify requirements for the design of areas and workplaces on offshore installations. The purpose of the Guidelines is to secure a high work efficiency and help prevent that the employees are exposed to excessive physical strain and thus a short or long-term risk of repetitive strain injuries.
1.2
Application The Guidelines apply to the planning of all types of work activities in connection with the development, modification and operation of offshore installations.
2.
REFERENCES These Guidelines include provisions from other publications. These normative references are mentioned in the relevant places in the text, and the publications are listed in the following. The reference is made to the last edition of the publications concerned.

DEFINITIONS
Definitions given in volume I, "Goals, principles and procedures", apply to these Guidelines. Manning is defined as follows in these Guidelines: Permanently manned: Work area manned for minimum 8 hours per day, minimum 50% of the days. If the total number of working hours per week in the work area exceeds 60 hours, the area should be defined as manned. Partly manned: Work area where inspection, maintenance and other work is planned for minimum 2 hours per day, minimum 50% of the days, or work is performed for minimum 8 hours per day, min. 10% of the days. Normally unmanned: Work area that is not permanently or partly manned.

REQUIREMENTS FOR USER COMPETENCE
The users of these Guidelines should have knowledge and experience of using ergonomic principles for the design of workplaces and work areas. Comment 1. The requirements in these Guidelines are developed as requirements for function or general design requirements. The users of these Guidelines are expected to have the necessary competence to evaluate the content of the requirements and translate these into specific design requirements. 2. The term "acknowledged standards or data" is used several places in the Guidelines. Examples of literature that provides useful information are given in Appendix A.
5. 5.1
