Samenvatting
The basic data needed in human engineering include those which describe the range of human body size at rest and in motion; bio-mechanical abilities including range, strength, speed, and accuracy of sensory abilities; and human reactions to the physical variables of the environment. Only by the application of these kinds of data to the design of the workspace, controls, instruments, and environment, can the worker be assured of maximum comfort, efficiency, and safety in the performance of his task.
