In Turkey one-third of its employed population are composed of female and male young people aged 15-29 and according to the 2019 occupational accident data, 41% of the accidents occurred by young people aged 15-29. Therefore, an anthropometric data was wanted to be determined by making a study especially on the young population. In this study, a questionnaire including basic information was applied to the Turkish young population and their photographs were taken to determine their anthropometric data. A platform was created for photographing and on this platform, 394 randomly selected people were photographed standing up to reveal their postures. The obtained photos were transferred to a drawing software, individual measurements were made for each person, and an analysis showing some statistical parameters such as correlation and percentile were performed. The study shows that the change differs depending on age range of males and females. Healthy and safe working environments to be created with the anthropometric data obtained will reduce occupational accidents in the future. Furthermore, it will also contribute to the design of personal protective equipment in terms of occupational safety and design of office products as desk and chair to be used in the office conveniently for employees. |
