11.2.1.2-5 Lateral Spread of Controls and Displays

The maximum lateral spread of controls and displays at a single-user workstation should not exceed 183 cm (72 in.).

Additional Information: The user should be able to perform task sequences at a given workstation with minimum repositioning. The amount of movement required depends on the arrangement of controls and displays, not simply on the lateral dimensions of the segments of the control board.0700
