Moving from theory into practical reality, ergonomics has come of
age as a useful tool for generating safe, comfortable, and
productive working environments. Tackling both the simple and
complex aspects of a variety of workplaces, Office Ergonomics:
Practical Applications demonstrates how to create offices that
accommodate all workers. The book contains practical advice on how
to maintain an office environment that promotes a healthy, safe,
and efficient workforce. Covering workstation design, selection,
layout, and use, the book details the impact of computers on worker
well-being, particularly when used under unfavorable conditions,
and discusses how ergonomics can accommodate disabled workers. The
author emphasizes the need to offer 'protection' to people involved
in manual handling in offices, an issue that is frequently
overlooked, and offers advice on how to work satisfactorily in
non-office environments. She explores the possible negative
outcomes, such as back pain, headaches, and upper limb disorders,
of a poorly designed workstation. Walking you through all the
features of an office, the book provides insight into the potential
problem areas that workers often encounter. The book explains how
to identify suitable workstation furniture, test it, trial it, and
introduce the final selection so the workforce accepts it. The
author draws on first-hand experience dealing with difficulties in
many types of office situations to provide straightforward, easily
applicable advice on how to improve the workplace to reduce the
likelihood of workers experiencing discomfort, ill-health, and
dissatisfaction.
