12.1.1.1-9 Windows

If windows are present in the control room, the following conditions should be observed:

 

  1. Control room operators using visual displays should not be facing windows unless these windows are a primary information source.
  2.  

  3. The location of control workstations where windows are behind the operator should be avoided since this may produce reflections on the operator’s display screen.
  4.  

  5. If control room operators do have to face windows while using visual display terminals, the differences in luminance should not lead to glare.
  6.  

  7. Windows that are located on the left and right side of the workstation should have a minimum distance of 3 m (118 in.) to the workstation.
  8.  

  9. Control room windows should have user-operable blinds. 20 11064-3
