Develop a healthier connection between worker and work with this
practical introduction The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics
estimates that 34% of all workdays lost each year are the result of
work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). These disorders
result from a mismatch between a worker, their working conditions,
and the task they perform. Improperly designed tasks or equipment,
insufficient downtime between shifts or tasks, or even simple
sitting position can all produce WMSDs. The key insights into
preventing these disorders are produced by ergonomics, the
scientific study of human bodies as they relate to objects,
systems, and environments, especially work environments.
Occupational Ergonomics: A Practical Approach aims to supply an
ergonomic toolkit for creating healthier relationships between
workers' bodies and their work. Beginning with a set of
foundational ergonomic principles, it then details multiple
assessment techniques in ways easily adapted to specific workplace
situations. This balance of theory and practice has made
Occupational Ergonomics an essential reference concerning human
beings and the work they do. Readers of the second edition will
also find: Up-to-date ergonomic research reflecting the latest
clinical and workplace data. Entirely new chapters on Work
Physiology, Total Worker Health, Return on Investment, and more.
Major revisions to chapters on Elements of an Ergonomic Program,
Workstation Design, Work-Related MSDs, How to Conduct an
Assessments, and Office Ergonomics Detailed and updated case
studies applying ergonomic assessment techniques to common
workplace scenarios. Occupational Ergonomics is a must for
workplace safety managers, safety coordinators, ergonomics program
coordinators, facilities managers, and any professionals concerned
with the work environment, and worker health and safety.
