What is BS 6912-19 - operator seats on earth-moving machinery about?  
Ergonomics in machine design impacts operator fatigue as well as risks of mishaps. BS 6912-19 is an International Standard that discusses the safety of earth-moving machinery.
BS 6912-19 is the 19th part of the multi-series that specifies the dimensions, requirements, and adjustment ranges for operator seats on earth-moving machinery as defined in ISO 6165.
Who is BS 6912-19 - operator seats on earth-moving machinery for? 
BS 6912-19 on operator seats on earth-moving machinery is useful for: 
- Manufacturers and suppliers of earth-moving machinery
- Product design engineers/innovation teams
- Quality control/testing personnel
- Compliance/audit teams
- Owners of earth-moving machinery
- Contractors
- Civil/construction engineers
- Machine operators
- Safety and accident prevention bodies
Why should you use BS 6912-19 - operator seats on earth-moving machinery?  
Operator seat design needs to take into account the various sizes of operators. The seats need to be adjustable to accommodate operators of different heights, as well as consider distance from hand and foot-operated controls. The seat design also needs to factor in visibility for the operator.
In addition to these aspects, BS 6912-19 also provides you with dimensions for armrests when fitted on these machines. BS 6912-19 helps you to improve both the operator’s work position and the means of ingress and egress.
BS 6912-19 provides seat requirements with better accommodation for the operator. This enables operators to avoid muscle-fatigue or repetitive strain injury, and mitigates risks of mishaps.
