Determining the size of an access opening

Description

How big should an opening in a structure be to allow a person to pass through it? A simple question can often have a complex answer. Scientists and ergonomists have measured the body dimensions of thousands of people in order to create anthropometric tables, which allow designers to create products – including access openings – that meet the needs of the people who use them.
