[Cashier's workplace].
Individuals working at the cashier's desk increasingly suffer from problems in the neck and shoulder region as well as elbow and wrist joints. Further complaints of this group include headache, eye irritation, insomnia, and nervousness. The law requires a structured setting for the cashier's desk itself as well as the working environment, i.e., lighting, climate, noise, etc., and the work organization, such as work routine, hours of work, and breaks. Various score models are available for evaluating the above-mentioned factors. Initial attempts to view the cashier's desk as a whole system have lead to promising cooperation between different manufacturers and government offices.
