Ignoring hazards and failing to take necessary precautions can result in injury or death to

designed so that the operator has full and unobstructed view of the system equipment. Make
sure that ergonomic issues are considered in the layout of the operating area to limit operator
stress and fatigue.

Operator fatigue and stress can result in operator errors, which can result in injury to personnel
or damage to the equipment and/or specimen.
Make sure that lighting, heating, cooling, and ergonomic issues are considered in the layout
of the operating area to limit operator stress and fatigue.
