Ergonomics promotes sustainability through the presence of more
humane companies, that is, healthier, safer, more comfortable and
efficient businesses with one of the objectives of the business
being the promotion of well-being in the context of the discourse
on sustainability. Taking health into account in business policies
helps ensure sustainable production systems. The role of ergonomics
in companies in the business sustainability environment can
contribute to increasing the performance of the organization.
Sustainable development includes social aspects among its
objectives, where work and the worker are fundamental. Likewise,
work can also benefit sustainable development since workers are
active agents in society. Sustainable work is one that improves the
performance of the organization and promotes professional
development, as well as the health of workers in a broad and
positive way (not limited to the absence of disease, but in the
sense of building health) and well-being. In this way, respect and
the development of intelligence and creativity (in the face of
alienating work) are promoted when carrying out work that makes
sense, where not only is the profound importance of physical,
cognitive and organizational issues understood, but also , above
all, the importance of work for the development of culture. There
seems to be a natural synergy between sustainability and
ergonomics, with the aim of understanding and optimizing the
results of human system interactions. When speaking of men (human
factor), machines (technical factor) and environment
(socio-technical factor), one must try to find the concrete
conditions of their interaction through the integrated ergonomic
triad. The result of integration is a whole of common
characteristics that is above the individual characteristics of the
factors, to humanize the other elements in terms of man. The
objective of this book is to present the new trends in sustainable
work through the analysis and application of methods to evaluate
and improve the interaction of human beings with their work, their
work area, and their environment. This book is divided into
sections that focus on concept chapters, case studies, and research
work in the industry, suggesting the use of method engineering
tools, physical ergonomics, organizational ergonomics, cognitive
ergonomics, environmental ergonomics, and sustainable development.
The target audience includes students, academics, researchers,
engineers working in the industry, professionals responsible for
ergonomics or safety and hygiene, and the general professional
public committed to the well-being of human capital and the
performance of the organization. Therefore, the contributions
should address the scientific and practical implications of
industrial engineering, ergonomics, and sustainable development in
manufacturing and services.
