Strength
Data for Design Safety - Phase 2
This
report summarises the results of the second phase of a research
study funded by the Consumer and Competition Policy Directorate
of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to provide designers
with ergonomics data for use in the design of safer products.
This report describes the second phase of the two stage research
program which was undertaken to try to address some data ‘gaps’. In the first phase, potential needs for design-applicable
data were identified and prioritised and new strength data
were collected to meet some of those needs. Data was collected
on the following strength measurements:
Note: the three publications mentioned in this report on
children, adults and older adults anthropometric and physical
strength data (‘Childata’, ‘Adultdata’ and ‘Older
Adultdata’) are no longer available.
