Survey was conducted to record vertical horizontal reaches of women of Dharwad city in standing posture. Five hunder twenty six women aged between 18-50 years participated in the study. The results reflect that as the surface height is lowered there is more reduction in mean maximum horizontal reach. Reduction in one hand and two hand mean reaches on the surface of 8 cm below the elbow hight was less obvious. But reach reduction was sizeable at 10 cm below elbow height surface. Therefore, work surface can be varied from elbow height to 5 cm below elbow height. Based on stepwise regression analysis stature has the close relationsip with maximum two handed reach standing close to the wall
