Abstract

The paper deals with ergonomic anthropometry. Work zones for upper and lower extremities are measured with use of a specific, prototype apparatus. Subjects examined here were workers aged 18-65 years employed in ‘various‘ industrial plants located in Warsaw. Results are given in form of percentile characteristics useful for designing working places and machinery.
