Popis: In this work we deal with a change of selected anthropometric characteristics of the adult population in Slovakia and its effects on work safety. Slovak population was represented by a sample of students who studied at the Technical University in Zvolen in the years 2000-2014. Selected anthropometric attributes are important for the design of optimal arrangement and safe workplace. Standard quantile characteristics were calculated and compared to historical data. The results showed that an update is necessary older data because sizes of attributes of Slovak population were increased about 4.5-5%. Enlargement was confirmed at significance level greater than 1% in the categories of men and women.
