Human Dimensions In Workplace Design

Anthropometric Dimensions

Humans vary significantly in size and build. In some situations, it is sufficient to design for the smallest or largest likely dimension. In other situations, adjustable benches, chairs or devices are required for the full range of people.

Note that these dimensions are from older studies of North American and primarily Caucasian personnel.
