The working environment is an essential element for the health and safety of the work and for the improvement ofproductivity. So, the conditions in the clothing industry are the most productive of occupational diseases such as MSDs,deafness and eye diseases. In this paper, we made an analysis of the environment in a clothing industry for eachworkplace using the NF EN ISO 2612 standard to analyze the level of sound exposure, the standard NBN EN 12464-1is used to analyze the level of light for a sewing workplace. The noise level varies between 73 dBA and 90.5 dBAdepending on the type of workplace. The lighting at the working zone varies between 240 lx and 1100 lx. The averagetemperature level varies between 28°C for the ironing stations and 26°C for the other stations and the average humiditylevel is 50%. The percentage of quality varies between 0 and 5%. An objective method was developed to determine thegeneral pace of a sewing post which contains the atmosphere factors with regard to the noise level, the lighting level,the level of quality, the temperature level and the humidity. According to these parameters, the average pace of thestudied group decreased from 98 to 78.
