Minimum aperture dimensions have traditionally been considered from an industrial perspective for facilitating safe confined-space working or emergency exit from transportation. However, secular trends for increased typical body size resulting from g... Read More about Minimum aperture transit in healthy adults of different size to predict egress capability..

Conference Proceeding
STEWART, A. and MITCHELL, D. 2018. The effect of ladder climbing on forearm function. In Charles, R. and Wilkinson, J. (eds.) Proceedings of Ergonomics and human factors 2018: contemporary ergonomics and human factors, 23-25 April 2018, Birmingham, UK. Loughborough: Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors, pages 195-201.

Wind energy technicians are required to be capable of manual ascent of turbines before conducting essential maintenance. This mandates vertical ladder ascent which involves considerable forearm exertion which may have implications for such maintenanc...

Confined space working is common place within the offshore oil and gas infrastructure and it is a persons absolute size that governs their fit within this built environment. The design and adjustability of the environment must be based on the assumed... Read More about Volumetric and space requirements of the offshore workforce: the effects of donning a survival suit..
