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.
