Produktbeschreibung

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