These facilities affect the kind of tasks
performed, and the frequency and duration of task
performance. Facilities that aim to reduce the load
associated with a given task have, as yet, not systematically

Reduction of load associated with given tasks may be
obtained by optimizing the fit between the worker and
the workplace layout, for which guidelines have been
formulated. It is questionable, however, whether
common guidelines for workplace layout are suitable
during pregnancy, given the fast and sizeable physical
changes in this period. This question is considered
