The study involved a review of the applicable specifications for each item of equipment, a survey and enumeration of male and female anthropometric data, and a linking of engineering and anthropometric data. Each item has been assigned to a hazard category. Of the five items evaluated, two appear to pose significant problems when used by women. Fit and high deceleration forces were the major concerns for the safety harness while operating force requirements were critical for the escape scuttle. In addition, there were also some difficulties for some women in the use of the oxygen breathing apparatus. 606 $aAnthropometry 606 $aShips$xEquipment and supplies 606 $aWomen$xAnthropometry 615 0$aAnthropometry. 615 0$aShips$xEquipment and supplies. 615 0$aWomen$xAnthropometry. 700 $aPalla$b Robert L$01394675 701 $aCollins$b Belinda Lowenhaupt$01390303 701 $aJones$b Clarke E$01397253 701 $aLovett$b C.
