Opis

The author describes how ergonomics can be applied specifically to load handling, both in the original design of systems and in their modification to make jobs easier and safer. Proven techniques (such as flow charting, or job analysis) are combined with new considerations (such as biomechanics and repetitive trauma) to optimize facility, work station, equipment, and job procedures.

Recenzje

"This easy-to-use primer on ergonomics can effectively prepare newcomers to ergonomics and students for more extensive classroom and workshop study coupled with on-the-job training...For the practicing ergonomist who might be evaluating an original machine, designed and fabricated in-house, this is a wonderful reference that can also assist in reducing product liability risk...If you find yourself preparing an introductory ergonomics seminar, this is the book for you. The organization and ergonomics pointers practically do the work for you."-Ergonomics in Design, October 1998
