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 workplace, the role of ergonomics in promoting healthy workplaces and healthy life styles, the role of ergonomic science in the design of consumer products, and much more. The caliber 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 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.

Reviews / Votes
"... an excellent reference book for engineers and practitioners in the field of ergonomics. ... very useful to people involved in the design and automation of manufacturing systems. ... a great reference book for universities and colleges that educate professionals in this important field of engineering."-Arturo Molina, Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico
"Each chapter has a wealth of line drawings, photographs (though the quality of print of these is not brilliant). tables and diagrams. And, unlike a great deal of such illustrative material. they do actually add to an understanding of the text. The scope of the book is such that it can be used as a reference for graduate students in health sciences, engineering, technology and business as well as professional practitioners of these disciplines. Equally it can be used as a senior level undergraduate textbook, with solved problems, case studies, and exercises included in several chapters. All in all, 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."
