Top Considerations When Designing an Ergonomic Control Room

Since the control room acts as a person’s “eyes and ears,” the design of it is extremely important. When designing a control room, it’s critical to consider all factors, for example, equipment selection, operating practices, working environments and furniture choices. In addition to the design of a workstation, operators within the control room must be considered. The overall system will fail if operators are overloaded, undertaking tasks for which they are poorly trained or straining to read displays that are illegible. It is necessary to identify the limitations of the operator to minimize potential mismatches between user capabilities and system demands.
