Abstract

With increasing numbers of women moving into jobs traditionally held by men, it was hypothesized that machinery, equipment, job operations, originally designed for the "average man" may be inadequately human factored for women, small men and other persons. These deficiencies may hamper performance, achievement or safety of women on the job. Statistical analyses and field studies confirmed this hypothesis.
