Office Equipment

DOE-STD-1067-94

3.4.3 Office Equipment

Worker performance is directly affected by the adequacy, quality, and ergonomics

of office equipment provided for the job task. In order to provide maximum

equipment performance for each worker and job task, a regular assessment of the

office equipment should be performed. Status of communications equipment,

reproduction equipment, and other office equipment/supplies should be regularly

assessed on the basis of observation, regular usage rates, and individual feedback.

When computerized data bases are used, convenient access to computer terminals

should be provided. During high-activity periods, additional office equipment

should be provided as needed.

Computerized office equipment requirements for each individual should be

established in order to maintain an inventory of the proprietary software used on

each system under his/her control.

A mechanism should be established to help achieve compliance with DOE

directives relevant to the security and protection of classified information and/or

proprietary information (e.g., Official Use Only, Unclassified Controlled Nuclear

Information).
