Has anyone been looking at the design of basins in beauty salons lately?
Recently I was looking at a work posture problem that related to a basin
with an internal of about 40 centimetres. I was told that this was a
particularly deluxe expensive basin and that it was rather larger and
deeper than most. This causes a reach problem as the worker has to lean
over the tap end (though nobody could tell me why it could not be done from
the side).
The length of the head of a large woman (1778 mm tall) is only about 216 mm
from the chin to the top of the head according to Humanscale Chart 7a
(Diffrient et al, 1981) this suggests that a much smaller bowl ought to be
adequate for hair-dressing tasks.
What sort of dimensions do these basins usually have? How large do they
need to be?
Thanks to all of you who have answered my earlier queries privately - but
please don't be so modest - feel free to reply to the list!
Regards.
David.
