There are two types of dimensional allowance (inner and external) related to two distinct areas of occupational health and safety: those being a measure of fit of personal protective equipment (PPE) and those determining the safe and comfortable human interaction with tools and machines, e.g., the latter ones result from wearing PPE increasing the dimensions of the human body and generating limitations in the work environment. In this paper, they are taken to mean the difference between the dimensions of a bare and gloved hand (including glove construction and materials). Dimensional allowances are important in designing the work environment, e.g., machine control panels and tools. The absolute and relative maximum values of dimensional allowances determined in this study for a hand in a firefighter's protective glove for the main anthropometric data are: 16.90 mm (5.90%) for length, 12.00 mm (13.77%) for width, and 15.70 mm (7.96%) for circumference. The obtained results are useful for designers, and especially for designing keys on control panels and LCD touch displays and monitors integrated with machines.
有两种与职业健康和安全两个不同领域相关的尺寸公差（内部和外部）：一种是个人防护设备（PPE）的适配度的衡量标准，另一种是确定人与工具和机器安全舒适交互的标准，例如，后者是由于佩戴 PPE 增加了人体尺寸并在工作环境中产生限制。在本文中，它们是指裸手和戴手套的手（包括手套结构和材料）之间的尺寸差异。尺寸公差在设计工作环境（例如机器控制面板和工具）时非常重要。在这项研究中，为消防员防护手套中的手的主要人体测量数据确定的尺寸公差的绝对和相对最大值为：长度为 16.90 毫米（5.90%），宽度为 12.00 毫米（13.77%），周长为 15.70 毫米（7.96%）。获得的结果对设计师有用，特别是对控制面板和与机器集成的 LCD 触摸显示屏和监视器上的按键设计有用。
