Anthropometry of Law Enforcement Officers
Description
The accommodation of worker anthropometric variability in the workplace and personal protective equipment (PPE) is key to safe and efficient completion of work tasks. Previously, the best data available was 46 years old, which has largely become outdated due to demographic changes. These data tables consist of 34 traditional semi-nude body dimensions without gear (e.g., chest depth, standing; foot breadth, horizontal, standing; hip circumference; stature; elbow rest height, sitting; and eye height, sitting) and 15 dimension measurements over clothing and with gear (e.g., abdominal extension depth, sitting; hip breadth, sitting; and should-grip length, sitting) of 756 male and 218 female Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs). For many LEOs, patrol vehicles are the workplace where they spend significant portions of their workday and PPE is vital gear to safeguard LEOs from the harm of assaults. Design improvements of vehicle console space, vehicle ingress/egress, and LEO body-worn equipment can result in reduced LEO fatigue, pain, or injury.
