Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In the fifteen years since the publication of Occupational Ergonomics: Theory and Applications, significant advances have been made in this field. These advances include understanding the impact of ageing and obesity on the workplace, the role of ergonomics in promoting healthy workplaces and healthy lifestyles, the role of ergonomic science in the design of consumer products, and much more. The calibre of information and the simple, practical ergonomics solutions in the second edition of this groundbreaking resource, though, haven’t changed.

See what’s new in the second edition:

  • Enhanced coverage of ergonomics in the international arena
  • Emerging topics such as Healthcare Ergonomics and economics of ergonomics
  • Coverage of disability management and psychosocial rehabilitation aspects of the workplace and its ergonomics implication
  • Current ergonomics solutions from "research to practice"
  • Synergy of healthy workplaces with healthy lifestyles
  • Impact of physical agents on worker health/safety and its control
  • Additional problems with solutions in the appendix

The book covers the fundamentals of ergonomics and the practical application of those fundamentals in solving ergonomic problems. The scope is such that it can be used as a reference for graduate students in the health sciences, engineering, technology, and business as well as professional practitioners of these disciplines. Also, it can be used as a senior-level undergraduate textbook, with solved problems, case studies, and exercises included in several chapters. The book blends medical and engineering applications to solve musculoskeletal, safety, and health problems in a variety of traditional and emerging industries ranging from the office to the operating room to operations engineering.
