This book was released on 1989-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of interest to: Human Factors/Ergonomics Specialists, Industrial Psychologists, Industrial Engineers, Occupational Physicians, Work Physiologists, Industrial Hygienists, Architects, Industrial and Computer Equipment Designers. If you are involved in workplace or equipment design, human factors engineering, or related fields, you will find Ergonomic Design for People at Work, Vol. I, to be a very practical and helpful guide. It reflects more than 22 years of industrial practice, experience, and research by the pioneering Human Factors Section of the Health, Safety and Human Factors Laboratory at Eastman Kodak. Combining the work and findings of psychologists, physicians, physiologists, anthropologists, and engineers, the book gives practical approaches for the solution of many design problems. It also includes examples and case studies based on real experience, and over 175 practical illustrations. Here’s what you’ll find: Cuidelines for workplace and equipment design that accommodate all sections of the population — women and older workers as well as younger men Innovative techniques for improving work performance and productivity Proven methods for reducing the potential for discomfort on the job Techniques for identifying and alleviating work-related stress Methods for evaluating existing conditions together with approaches for improving them Also included is information on how to: Design work stations for maximum comfort Design codes for optimal transfer of information Select and install appropriate video display units (VDUs) in automated offices Reduce noise and vibration The photograph on the jacket shows a seated workspace in which the operator is seated behind a three-dimensional model. The model represents the reach capability of a person with short arms (5th percentile). Seated workplaces are discussed in Chapter II, Workplace Design.

Download or read book Ergonomic Design for People at Work The Design of Jobs including Work Patterns Hours of Work Manual Materials Handling Tasks Methods to Evaluate Job Demands and the Physiological Basis of Work written by The Ergonomics Group, Health and Environmental Laboratories, Eastman Kodak Company and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1989-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ergonomics human factors is a multidisciplinary science that uses knowledge of human capacities and capabilities to assist in the design of safe and productive jobs, workplaces, equipment, and products. Eastman Kodak, with over twenty-five years of applied research and practical experience in ergonomics, is at the forefront of this developing field. The first volume of this comprehensive ergonomics resource presented principles by which safe and highly effective workplaces, equipment and environments could be designed. This second volume complements Volume I by drawing on physiology, psychology, engineering, medicine, and environmental sciences to provide practical information for the design of jobs and work tasks. The guidelines and procedures included are based on ergonomic approaches that have proven to be effective within Kodak. Topics covered in this volume include. • The Physiological Basis of Work • Evaluation of Job Demands • Patterns of Work with Information on Repetitive and Paced Work • Hours of Work Including Shiftwork and Overtime • Manual Materials Handling Ergonomic Design for People at Work, Volume 2 offers a realistic approach to the science of ergonomics. Special consideration is given to the broad range of capabilities of the industrial population as determined by their age, sex, and health status. Over 140 illustrations graphically present key concepts that help identify solutions to many problems. Ergonomics and human factors specialists, health and safety professionals, industrial hygienists, industrial engineers, equipment designers, architects, and labor relations specialists will find this volume an indispensable reference.
Download or read book Human Performance and Ergonomics written by Peter A. Hancock and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-04-13 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Performance and Ergonomics brings together a comprehensive and modern account of how the context of performance is crucial to understanding behavior. Environment provides both constraints and opportunities to individuals, such that external conditions may have reciprocal or interactive effects on behavior.The book begins with an account of research in human factors and engineering, with application of research to real world environments, methodological concerns, and rumination on current and future trends. The book proceeds to how technology has moved from being designed to help human physical survival to helping humans achieve "quality of life" improvements. Real world examples are explored in detail including hearing technology, driving, and aviation. Issues of control, maneuvering, and planning are discussed in conjunction with how intention and expectancy affect behavior. The fit between human and environment is examined as a dynamic interaction, and many chapters address the all important human-machine communication, particularly that between humans and computers.The book closes with a reminder that even our technological environment is filled with other people, with whom we must interact personally or via technology, to achieve our larger goals. Teamwork is thus discussed for its integration of cognitive, behavioral, and affective components toward our achieving desired aims. * Includes the application of research in human factors in engineering to real world environments* Discussion of both current and future trends is included* Real-world examples of how technology is now helping humans to achieve "quality of life" improvements are explored in detail including hearing technology, driving and aviation* Many chapters examine the all important human/machine communication, particularly human-computer interaction (HCI)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even with today’s mobile technology, most work is still undertaken in a physical workplace. Today’s workplaces need to be healthy environments that minimize the risks of illnesses or injuries to occupants to compete in the marketplace. This necessitates the application of good ergonomics design principles to the creation of effective workplaces, and this is the focus of this book. This book will: · Focus on ergonomic design for better health and ergonomic design for better productivity · Presents environments that support new ways of working and alternative workplace strategies, as well as the impacts of new technologies · Covers the role of ergonomics design in creating sustainable workplaces · Includes ergonomics design for a wide variety of workplaces, from offices to hospitals, to hotels to vehicles, etc... · Shows the design principles on how to design and create a healthy and productive workplace The market lacks an ergonomics design book that covers the topics that this book will cover. This book summarizes design principles for practitioners, and applies them to the variety of workplace settings described in the book. No other book currently on the market does that.
