The dimensions of workplaces, in particular their height and surface area, are such as to enable workers to perform their tasks without risk to their health, safety or well-being.
The free space at the workstation, taking account of furniture, shall be such that workers have sufficient freedom of movement.
Where, for reasons specific to the workstation, these provisions cannot be complied with, sufficient free space shall be provided in the vicinity of the workstation.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4214-22


Les dimensions des locaux de travail, notamment leur hauteur et leur surface, sont telles qu’elles permettent aux travailleurs d’exécuter leur tâche sans risque pour leur santé, leur sécurité ou leur bien-être.
L’espace libre au poste de travail, compte tenu du mobilier, est prévu pour que les travailleurs disposent d’une liberté de mouvement suffisante.
Lorsque, pour des raisons propres au poste de travail, ces dispositions ne peuvent être respectées, il est prévu un espace libre suffisant à proximité de ce poste.
