UC Access Now"According to the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, one explanation about why badly fitting PPE has become a significant issue is that much of the measurement data used to design this equipment was collected by the military in the 1950s and 1970s. It’s likely that these data no longer represent all the body types in the modern workforce, which includes a much wider range of ages, genders, ethnicities, and disability statuses."Not just sizes, but ease of fastening, ease of donning, accessibility for those who are always working seated in a wheelchair, etc.Similarly - pay attention to the handedness of tools in your lab/field/office.
