[SR: 1388596], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780849326417], CRC Press, CRC Press, Book, [PU: CRC Press], CRC Press, Occupational ergonomics and safety studies the application of human behavior, abilities, limitations, and other characteristics to the design, testing, and evaluation of tools, machines, systems, tasks, jobs, and environments for productive, safe, comfortable, and effective use. Occupational Ergonomics Handbook provides current, comprehensive knowledge in this broad field, providing essential, state-of-the-art information from nearly 150 international leaders of this discipline. The text assesses the knowledge and expertise applied to industrial environments:Providing engineering guidelines for redesigning tools, machines, and work layoutsEvaluating the demands placed on workers by current jobsSimulating alternative work methodsDetermining the potential for reducing physical job demands based on the implementation of new methodsTopics also include:Fundamental ergonomic design principles at workWork-related musculoskeletal injuries, such as cumulative trauma to the upper extremity (CTDs) and low back disorders (LBDs), which affect several million workers each year with total costs exceeding $100 billion annuallyCurrent knowledge used for minimizing human suffering, potential for occupational disability, and related worker's compensation costsWorking conditions under which musculoskeletal injuries might occurEngineering design measures for eliminating or reducing known job-risk factorsOptimal manufacturing processes regarding human perceptual and cognitive abilities as well as task reliabilityIdentifying the worker population affected by adverse conditionsEarly medical and work intervention effortsEconomics of an ergonomics maintenance programErgonomics as an essential cost to doing businessErgonomics intervention includes design for manufacturability, total quality management, and work organization. Occupational Ergonomics Handbook demonstrates how ergonomics serves as a vital component for the activities of the company and enables an advantageous cooperation between management and labor. This new handbook serves a broad segment of industrial practitioners, including industrial and manufacturing engineers; managers; plant supervisors and ergonomics professionals; researchers and students from academia, business, and government; human factors and safety specialists; physical therapists; cognitive and work psychologists; sociologists; and human-computer communications specialists., 13735, Environmental, 226545, Groundwater & Flood Control, 16244651, Insecticides & Pesticides, 52192011, Pollution, 226548, Waste Management, 226549, Water Quality & Treatment, 227541, Civil & Environmental, 173515, Engineering, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 13755, Ergonomics, 227550, Industrial, Manufacturing & Operational Systems, 173515, Engineering, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 13762, Industrial Design, 194818011, Packaging, 7921653011, Products, 227550, Industrial, Manufacturing & Operational Systems, 173515, Engineering, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 7921652011, Health & Safety, 227550, Industrial, Manufacturing & Operational Systems, 173515, Engineering, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 13801, Radar, 13809, Telecommunications & Sensors, 173515, Engineering, 173507, Engineering & Transportation, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 14631, Technology, 75, Science & Math, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 227569, Public Health, 227208, Epidemiology, 227560, Administration & Medicine Economics, 173514, Medical Books, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 227690, Occupational, 227203, Internal Medicine, 265542, Medicine, 173514, Medical Books, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 684258011, Environmental Engineering, 468212, Engineering, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<
