Posture -- Force -- Reach -- Heights -- Motions -- Fatigue -- Pressure points -- Clearance -- Movement and change -- Environment -- Applications -- Cognitive ergonomics -- Work organization -- Anthropometry -- Exertion and biomechanics -- Posture -- Motions -- Miscellaneous -- NIOSH lifting guide -- Pushing, pulling, and carrying guides -- Rapid upper limb assessment (RULA) -- Strain index -- Time and physical demands analysis (TAPDA) -- Employee discomfort surveys -- Studies -- Problem-solving process. Written for those who understand the basic theories of ergonomics and are ready to put them into practice, this book provides a guide for solving ergonomics problems, including the essential tools for implementing and managing an ergonomically sound environment. It presents a methodology for assessing the safety program of a workplace and outlines the main procedures and protocols for identifying and treating employees with injuries due to ergonomic flaws. Unlike most titles on the subject, this text goes beyond the manufacturing environment to cover office ergonomics. This second edition features new chapters on quantitative methods, including RULA and TAPDA, as well as new applications. |
