Anthropometric Determination of the Optimal Location of The Fire Protection Equipment

Abstract

The accessibility is the criterion of the easy, quick and effective use of the fire protection equipment (e.g. fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, manual call points, etc.). The accessibility of the fire protection equipment allows to extinguish fires in their early stage, alarm without delay and thereby protecting people’s life. For the optimal accessibility it is expedient to adjust the location of the equipment to the user’s population’s anthropometric data. I present and analyse the anthropometric data relevant for placement of the fire protection equipment.

I define using them the optimal parameters of the location of the fire protection equipment.
