Enough space should be allowed so that personnel can perform all required tasks.
Additional Information: Users should be able to position themselves conveniently for performing tasks at any workstation. The space should accommodate kneeling and bending, simultaneous work by more than one person, and simultaneous performance of operational and maintenance tasks as required. Figure 12.3 illustrates recommended minimum separations. A minimum separation of 1.25 m (50 in.) is recommended between a single row of equipment or panels and a wall or other opposing surface. A minimum separation of 1.25 m (50 in.) is also recommended between two rows of facing equipment, if both rows are worked by a single person. A minimum separation of 2.5 m (8 ft) is recommended between opposing rows of equipment where more than one person must work simultaneously on operational or maintenance tasks and where kneeling, bending, or use of test equipment may be necessary.0700
