Abstract

Jewelry making is a profession inherited by Egyptians through the ages of ancient and modern Egyptian civilization. Despite the tremendous development in technologies and the existence of technological alternatives, manual skills have not disappeared yet, but we found that they come back to life from time to time, either to revive the heritage or because it is a heritage that does not die at all. The quality of jewelry made is linked to a number of factors; the skill and ability of the maker, factors related to the environment, working conditions and available resources. In order to reach a product that performs its aesthetic and usable functions, it must be durable, safe and easy to use. It has been noticed that there is a clear shortcoming as a result of ignoring human factors in the work environment. It was important therefore, to reach standards that govern the performance of jewelers and technicians and provide them with a methodological framework that guarantees them safety and ease in performance.
