The Biomechanical Basis of Ergonomics Anatomy Applied to the Design of Work Situations

Abstract

Shows how to apply ergonomics to manufacturing and service industries for increased productivity and reduced on-the-job hazards. Professionals concerned with the health, welfare, and performance of workers will learn the mechanics of the body for a priori design of work situations without having to resort to lengthy experimentation. This human engineering'' concept helps prevent occupational accidents, diseases and low levels of productivity which are often caused by the inadvertent neglect of basic biomechanical principles in the design of equipment or workplace layout.
