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.

Occupational Ergonomics: Engineering and Administrative Controls
focuses on prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders
with an emphasis on engineering and administrative controls.
Section I provides knowledge about risk factors for upper and lower
extremities at work, while Section II concentrates on risk factors
for work-related low back disorders. Section III discusses
fundamentals of surveillance of musculoskeletal disorders,
requirements for surveillance database systems, OSHA Record keeping
system, and surveillance methods based on the assessment of body
discomfort. Section IV focuses on medical management of
work-related musculoskeletal disorders, including programs for
post-injury management, testing of physical ability for employment
decisions, assessment of worker strength and other functional
capacities, and applications of ergonomics knowledge in
rehabilitation.

Ergonomics merges the frontiers of ergonomics, workplace design,
and management issues. The editors have brought together
researchers from disciplines such as biomechanics, anthropometry,
and cognitive science with pioneering practitioners in industry.
They discuss tools of the trade, upper extremity analysis, backs,
interventions, management issues, design for ergonomics, principles
of product design, band-aid approaches, processing, distribution
centers, and service systems. The handbook is a compendium of
information authored by top-flight investigators who represent the
cutting edge of opinion, research, and interest in the field.

Occupational Ergonomics: Principles of Work Design focuses on the fundamentals in ergonomics design and evaluation. Divided into two parts, Part I covers the background for the discipline and profession of ergonomics and offers an international perspective on ergonomics. Part II describes the foundations of ergonomics knowledge, including fundamentals of ergonomics, fundamentals of work analysis, and cognitive issues. The authors discuss ergonomics of system design and outline the principles of certification in professional ergonomics. Methods for evaluation of physical workload due to posture (RULA and OWAS), as well as computer-aided human models and other software-based tools for ergonomic analysis and design are reviewed.
