Produktbeschreibung

Written by experts with real-world experience in applying ergonomics methodology in a range of contexts, this book explores ergonomics/human factors from a "doing it" perspective. More than a cookbook of ergonomics methods, it encourages readers to think about which methods they should apply, when, and why. This book provides a guide to what ergonomics/human factors can offer to industry, business, or human service professionals, and also acts as a reference for practicing ergonomics. All chapters have been revised and several new ones have been added.
