| Content | Problem In Germany, some 500,000 sales points with checkouts are to be found in the retail sector. Owing to changes in shopping habits and to tech- nical developments, work at checkouts and the design of the corresponding workplaces have changed, with a trend towards working procedures becoming more monotonous. The working task is increasingly limited to the continually repeated scanning of purchases, and acceptance of pay- ment for them. The ergonomic design of checkout workplaces is hampered by a dearth of comparative studies into the physical stress caused both by static, unfa- vourable body postures, and by repetition. To address this, the CUELA measurement system1 was to be used in the present project in order to obtain the typical stress profiles. The project was launched by the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the trade and distribution industry (BGHW). The objective was to produce recommendations for the ergonomic design of checkout workplaces, following analysis of the physical stress profiles; to substantiate these recommendations; and if applicable, to formulate test criteria. 1CUELA system of computer-assisted measurement and long-term analysis of musculoskeletal workloads Checkout operator with CUELA measurement system for recording of postures and movements of the shoulders, arms and hands Activities Test measurements for seated postures and for the shoulder-arm-hand system were first con- ducted in a pilot study on two female test subjects by means of the CUELA measurement system. Evaluation of the data showed the CUELA meas- urement system to be suitable for identifying foci of stress in checkout operators work and for at- tributing these foci to particular design aspects of the checkout workplace. Based upon the results from the pilot measurements, the IFA conducted systematic studies on a number of test subjects at four different checkouts. The checkouts differed in the arrangement of their feed and takeaway belts and in the position of the till drawer, the scanner, the receipt printer and the keypad.
