摘要: Abstract In this technological age we are surrounded by artifacts and environments which can greatly influence our personal communal health, safety, effectiveness well-being. For most of us the majority lives spent in buildings have been designed constructed to accommodate us. Without ignoring impact domestic setting, industrial workplace has potential be more hostile because nature very operation processes being carried out. Within context it is important that workspace - area within required carry out work promote health well-being without detriment effectiveness. Anthropometry defined as science measurement body size (NASA, 1978). The application anthropometry an essential element process designing fit worker. physical a population determined measuring lengths, breadths girths, data derived used design workplaces, equipment products match people's dimensions. way (which includes equipment, tools, furniture etc) fitted man or woman's dimensions functional capabilities.
