Summary/Abstract: This paper presents selected aspects of the organization of work at workstations equipped with hand-held machines. It considers legal requirements and discusses various technical solutions. It also considers problems related to machine selection and operation, and maintenance. The results of the study show that due to the increasing number of older operators, it is important to select the right workers for specific types of work. Due to the decreasing physical capabilities of this group of workers, it is necessary to reduce musculoskeletal load of the upper limbs.
