 * **Human is bad for the product** for example semiconductor handling.
 * **Product is bad for the human** for example radioactive product.
 * 1) Repetitive strain syndrome.
 * 2) Working with machinery that is dangerous for example presses, winders.
 * 3) Working with materials which might be harmful in the short or long term.
 * **Quality**
 * 1) gluing,
 * 2) spraying (glue or paint),
