Soft controls should be designed to accommodate any protective clothing that personnel may be required to wear.
Additional Information:
In some plant locations, environmental conditions necessitate wearing protective clothing that can limit the ability of personnel to manipulate soft controls. For example, gloves may reduce manual dexterity and tactile sensitivity, degrading the ability of personnel to operate soft controls quickly and accurately. As another example, eye protection, such as goggles, may become foggy or distort vision and, thus, interfere personnel's ability to view computer-based display devices.
