The past decade has seen the development and testing of an
increasingly large set of ergonomics tools. With new sections in
every chapter, the third edition of Introduction to Ergonomics
describes a representative selection of tools and demonstrates how
to apply them in practice. In fully researched, stand alone
sections with worked examples, the book provides useful, practical
skills for dealing with real-world ergonomic problems. The author's
approach is based on a professional model in which specialized
skills are backed-up by a good general knowledge of ergonomics.
This approach is in accordance with International Ergonomics
Association guidelines. See what's new in the Third Edition:
Ergonomics Workshop sections in each chapter with worked examples
and advice for using problem solving tools Guidance for the design
of questionnaires, rating scales, and the conduct of surveys
applicable across all areas of ergonomics Task analysis examples
together with a wide variety of ergonomics checklists and design
guidelines Increased coverage of the role of stress and
psychological well-being on the health of workers and on systems
safety New material for course lectures, examinations, and projects
- over 200 essays and exercises Glossary of technical terms New
evidence for the cost-effectiveness of ergonomics in practice
Advice for further study Updated Instructor's Manual The book's
built-in flexibility allows it to be used in a variety of ways.
Reading the main text supplies a general overview of ergonomics in
action. Delving deeper, the Ergonomics Workshop sections include
tutorials and exercises that provide a basic toolkit for carrying
out risk assessments and for solving real-world problems. This
multi-level organization allows those studying human factors,
psychology, industrial engineering, and occupational ergonomics to
get both general knowledge and specialized information. The
self-contained chapters are also accessible to non-ergonomics
professionals who need to know more about the subject.
