Ergonomics and human factors is the discipline concerned with the
application of scientifc knowledge to improve people's interaction
with products, systems and environments. This book presents the
proceedings of the international conference, Ergonomics & Human
Factors 2015, the 29th year in which a volume in the Contemporary
Ergonomics series has appeared. In addition to being the leading
event in the UK that features ergonomics and human factors across
all sectors, this is also the annual conference of the Chartered
Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF). The scope and
breadth of ergonomics and human factors continues to expand at a
rapid pace. Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors 2015 reflects
many of these developments and includes contributions covering the
latest work in healthcare, transportation, defence, stress,
manufacturing, design, and health and safety. There are also
developments in data analytics, culture and complexity. This book
also celebrates the long tradition of work in ergonomics and human
factors which began with the formation of the Ergonomics Research
Society in 1949 and culminated in 2015 with a Royal Charter. This
has conferred recognition, at the highest level, of the uniqueness
and value of our scientifc discipline and the preeminent role of
the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors in
representing both the discipline and the profession. As well as
being of interest to mainstream ergonomists and human factors
specialists, Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors 2015 will
appeal to those concerned with people's interaction with their
working and leisure environment, including designers, manufacturing
and production engineers, health and safety specialists,
occupational, applied and industrial psychologists, and applied
physiologists.
The broad and developing scope of human factors and ergonomics -
the application of scientific knowledge to improve people's
interaction with products, systems and environments - has been
illustrated for 28 years by the books which make up the
Contemporary Ergonomics series. This book presents the proceedings
of the international conference - Ergonomics and Human Factors
2014. In addition to being the leading event in the UK that
features ergonomics and human factors across all sectors, this is
also the annual meeting of the Institute of Ergonomics & Human
Factors. Individual papers provide insight into current practice,
present new research findings and form an invaluable reference
source. The volumes provide a fast track for the publication of
suitable papers from international contributors, with papers being
subject to peer review since 2009 and selected by the conference
programme committee. A wide range of topics are covered in these
proceedings including workload, human capability, systems, product
design, manufacturing systems, behaviour change, health and
wellbeing, organisational culture, smart environments and
sustainability, transport and musculoskeletal disorders. As well as
being of interest to mainstream ergonomists and human factors
specialists, Contemporary Ergonomics and Human Factors will appeal
to all those who are concerned with people's interactions with
their working and leisure environment including designers,
manufacturing and production engineers, health and safety
specialists, occupational, applied and industrial psychologists,
and applied physiologists.

Written by experts with real-world experience in applying
ergonomics methodology in a range of contexts, Evaluation of Human
Work, Fourth Edition explores ergonomics and human factors from a
"doing it" perspective. More than a cookbook of ergonomics methods,
the book encourages students to think about which methods they
should apply, when, and why. Now in its fourth edition, the editors
have again brought together a team of world-renowned experts and
created a forum for them to discuss and debate their most valued
approaches. See What's New in the Fourth Edition: Significant
change of authorship and content in each chapter Five new chapters
covering inclusive design, situation awareness, neuroergonomics,
ergonomics and quality, and standards in ergonomics design and
evaluation Discussion of the idea of reflective practice and
Ergonomics/Human Factors Examination of the systems perspective now
prevalent in the field Coverage of new tools and the relationship
between these physiologically measured parameters and theoretical
concepts such as workload, fatigue, stress, or effort In addition
to being a foundational text, the book is an authoritative
reference for practising ergonomists. Completely revised and
updated, this fourth edition retains the features that have made
the book a perennial favorite. After reading each chapter you will
feel as though you understand the context of how to practise
ergonomics and what aspects of method selection and implementation
you should consider. The book provides a guide to the benefits
ergonomics and human factors can offer industry, business, or human
service professionals.
