| Abstract The design of work products, including personal protective equipment (PPE), tools, equipment, and assistive technologies, play a significant role in their function, usability, adoption, and ultimately their effectiveness in preventing injuries in workplaces. Unfortunately, work product manufacturers and designers often rely on dated, general population anthropometric data sets. This presentation will describe through two studies the current challenges with work product design, particularly PPE, and detail how MOSAIC will support the inclusive design of work products to accommodate Canada’s diverse workforce. |
