I have an old copy of a Design Data Digest , based on Mil-Std-1472, that quantifies all sorts of human capabilities - reach, height, seating positions, knobs and rotations, etc. John Linstrom Computer Dynamics PH 864.281.7768 x266 FX 864.675.0106 john.linst...@cdynamics.com <mailto:john.linst...@cdynamics.com> -----Original Message----- From: Lacey,Scott [ mailto:sla...@foxboro.com <mailto:sla...@foxboro.com> ] Sent: Monday, March 06, 2000 10:41 AM To: 'Paul J Smith' Cc: 'emc-p...@ieee.org' Subject: RE: Product Safety Certification School For those just looking for ergonomics information, there is an excellent MIL-STD that covers nearly every aspect of human/equipment interface, with reference dimensions for various percentages of a sample population. It covers everything from desk height to strength required to turn knobs. I lost my copy some years ago so I can't supply the document number.

Site includes the following text. "CUErgo presents information from Ergonomics research studies and class work, conducted by the Cornell Human Factors and Ergonomics Group in the Department of Design and Environmental Analysis at Cornell University, on ways to improve usability, comfort, performance and health, through the ergonomic design of hardware, software, and workplaces."

I was wondering if anybody has > heard anything further about this program? I probably was the one who mentioned that engineering schools should include a 1-term course in product safety. Its on my wish-list. I'd like to find even one engineering school that would consider such a course, and then I'd volunteer to help create the course. But, I believe that no engineering school currently has such a course.
