With examples from the service industry, heavy industry, agriculture, and the office, this text bridges these gaps between theory and practice by using case studies to illustrate sound ergonomic practices. Case studies describe methods for identifying ergonomic problems, and specific causes are reported. Recommended strategies for the elimination of identified stressors are indicated. Implemented strategies and evaluated results are discussed and explained. Whether you are a health and safety professional with limited expertise in ergonomics or a student taking a health and safety course you will find this book a vital reference work. The applications of this book are endless.
