 In most industries, musculoskeletal injuries are the most common
work-related reason for employee absences. These injuries are often
caused by static postures or repetitive movements that have to be
maintained for many hours a day, such as intensive use of data
entry devices, assembly work, parts inspection, equipment
maintenance, manual materials handling, machinery operations, and
vehicle operation, among others. The book addresses seating
concepts, hand tool and pedal designs, foot-floor interfaces,
digital human models for computer-aided design and engineering, and
work organization (task duration, breaks, handling frequency) as
they affect human performance and musculoskeletal injury reduction.
Professionals responsible for identifying and improving conditions
in the industries where such workplace injuries occur will find
this volume to be a handy sourcebook, while teachers and students
will find it to be a valuable reference.
