Mining in low coal. Volume 2. anthropometry. Open file report 15 Jun 78-15 Sep 81

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5259555

This report covers the anthropometric study of low coal miners. The male and female anthropometry, except for weight and circumferential dimensions, was quite similar to the comparison populations. The miners tended to be heavier and have greater circumferences. The measurements made in this study were used to develop 5th, 50th, and 95th percentile, quarter- and half-scale, male and female mannequins. The mannequins can be used in work place and equipment design and redesign.
