Completely revised and updated, taking the scientific rigor to a
whole new level, the second edition of the Occupational Ergonomics
Handbook is now available in two volumes. This new organization
demonstrates the enormous amount of advances that have occurred in
the field since the publication of the first edition. The editors
have brought together researchers from a wide range of disciplines
with pioneering practitioners in industry to cover a diverse list
of ergonomics topics. The second edition not only provides more
information but makes it more accessible. Each individual volume
narrows the focus while broadening the coverage, supplying
immediate access to important information. One of the most
comprehensive sources for ergonomic knowledge available, providing
both sound theory and practical examples, this book is a valuable
resource for anyone in the field. Interventions, Controls, and
Applications in Occupational Ergonomics begins with descriptions of
the elements of the ergonomics processes, including success factors
for implementation of industrial ergonomics programs. It includes
coverage of injury surveillance database systems and corporate
health management for the design and evaluation of health in
industrial organizations, ergonomics processes from the small and
large industry perspectives, and human digital modeling, as well as
facilities planning and organizational design and macro-ergonomics.
Additional chapters present methods and techniques for engineering
control, including tried and true strategies and pitfalls to avoid,
and discuss the theory and practice of ergonomics interventions in
the workplace. Using this information as a cornerstone, the book
addresses the issues of medical management of work-related
musculoskeletal disorders, systems approach to rehabilitation,
wrist splints, and application of the clinical lumbar motion
monitor. It provides an overview of best practices for ergonomics
intervention with respect to the design and use of chairs and
office furniture, as well as design of computer keyboards and
notebook computers. The book closes with discussions of the problem
of medical errors, the challenge and rewards of applying ergonomics
in developing areas, and the future of human work.
