Application of Malaysian anthropometric data in dummy welder design

The design of dummy welder by incorporating the Malaysian anthropometric data with ability to replicate the common body posture during welding works is presented. Dummy welder is used in the experimental study to investigate personal welding fumes exposure during controlled welding. In this study, 1...

Dummy welder is used in the experimental study to investigate personal welding fumes exposure during controlled welding. In this study, 16 out of 55 standard anthropometric measurements for technological design were selected for the design of the dummy welder. The selected anthropometric measurements were based on the mean value of anthropometric data for Malaysian male industrial workers database. Experimental set-up for personal welding fumes exposure would highly consider the distance of welder breathing zone with the source of welding fumes exposure.
