Standardization in this field is part of a program entitled "Hygiene and safety at work", which covers a wide field, since it concerns almost all the equipment used at work in the various professional branches of economic life. In fact, standardization work draws on a wide range of scientific and technical fields – engineering sciences, human and social sciences, life sciences.
