Short story
Article Abstract:
Many objects and equipment are not designed for those of short stature, which can have an adverse effect on health and stamina. Also, although manual handling regulations recommend the use of lifting and carrying aids, such as trolleys, those in airports, supermarkets and workplaces are usually designed for people of average stature. Manufacturers of protective workwear and equipment should introduce petite ranges, similar to high street fashion stores.
