This article describes the derivation of strap lengths and adjustments to fall-arrest harnesses and the development of harness size configurations.
Updated harness sizing configurations are needed to accommodate diverse populations in the current workforce.
Three-dimensional torso anthropometric data from 243 women and 258 men were incorporated into eight validated equations to develop a cost-effective harness sizing plan and to define strap lengths.
To met strap adjustable range goals and to accommodate 95% to 98% of the estimated population, two sizing options were identified.
Study outcomes suggest system improvement with three to four sizes for women and three to four sizes for men, on which the adjustment ranges of the torso straps were within 15 to 17 cm and within 20 to 23 cm on thigh and hip straps.
This research provided harness sizing and cut-length information for harness design to reduce the risk of worker injury that results from poor fit or improper size selection.
本文介绍了安全带长度的推导以及防坠落安全带的调整，并制定了安全带尺寸配置。
需要更新安全带尺寸配置，以适应当前劳动力中多样化的人群。
将 243 名女性和 258 名男性的三维躯干人体测量数据纳入到 8 个经过验证的方程中，以制定一个具有成本效益的安全带尺寸计划，并确定安全带的长度。
为了满足安全带可调范围的目标，并适应估计人群的 95%至 98%，确定了两种尺寸选择。
研究结果表明，女性有三到四个尺码，男性有三到四个尺码，这样躯干安全带的调节范围在 15 到 17 厘米之间，大腿和臀部安全带的调节范围在 20 到 23 厘米之间，这是系统的改进。
本研究为安全带设计提供了尺寸和裁剪长度信息，以降低因不合适的尺寸选择而导致工人受伤的风险。
