Observation:
It can be observed that there isnt any operation that has BRIEF score more than 2, which indicates that there isnt any process that causes any stress on a particular area. Lathe machine has been in use since a few centuries, hence there have a lot of research on this which led to the modern day lathe machine. Lathe machines are so designed to avoid any kind of fatigue to the operator.

Conclusion:
From BRIEF survey of Lathe machine, we can observe that lathe machine is designed with the considerations of ergonomics which leads to less fatigue to the operator.
