The Rules of Work

Reviews / Votes

"The book, like its predecessor, provides a very well illustrated and comprehensive set of manual work conditions that are amenable to ergonomics intervention methods. The "rules", principles and processes to achieve positive outcomes are clearly presented. This book should be on every practicing ergonomists book shelf."
-Don Chaffin, PhD, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA

"The book's strengths lie in the fact that it tells the reader up front that Ergonomics is not a costly intervention. It can provide inexpensive solutions that lead to significant improvements in the working environment. ... plain speaking, practical, sensible and usable and the solutions have grown from the author's real-life experiences in the working world."
-Dr. Celine McKeown, Link Ergonomics, Nottingham, England, UK

"Dan MacLeod elevates ergonomics to its rightful place as a necessary component in an effective production system. His straightforward and engaging writing style stimulates creative 'common sense' solutions, often at low cost. This book is a must read for anyone involved in process improvement, from the CEO to the working team members -- and especially the process engineers."
-Peter Budnick, Ph.D., President, Ergoweb Inc.

"This is a good introduction to the ergonomics of production environments with good examples of how to apply ergonomics in practice."
- RS Bridger, Author of Introduction to Ergonomics, Third Edition
