Book Description

1566703182 978-1566703185 September 16, 1998 Har/Dskt
Computers revolutionized the office, and employees in many workplaces are still making adjustments... hunching their shoulders, tilting their necks, and sitting in awkward positions. When bright screens and bulky equipment can't be moved or shifted, it's the user who makes the compensations.
Relief from "desk discomfort" is possible, through a science that not only solves that immediate problem, but also holds substantial benefits for employer and employee alike.
Ergonomics is the science (and art) of workplace design for maximum physical comfort, maximum efficiency-and prevention of injury at the workplace. Its potential results: greater productivity, heightened morale, and reduced compensation for work-induced injuries. Keep in mind: most worker's compensation costs are for Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD).
The Office Ergonomics Tool Kit: With Training Disc provides a sensible step-by-step method to bring Ergonomics and its wonders to your workplace. Written for facilities managers, office managers, small business owners, office managers, and other non-professional ergonomists alike, its comprehensive and clear instructions enable managers to "fit" ergonomics principles to the exact needs of any office/workplace.
Every bit of advice in Office Ergonomics Tool Kit: With Training Disc is already in practice at offices that have consulted author Dan MacLeod. Many Fortune 100 companies in both offices and general industry have saved millions of dollars through guidance. Industrial Hygiene and Safety News names MacLeod "one of the key players influencing both government and ergonomic standards and industrial control strategies."

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical, easy to understand, how-to guide that works., December 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Office Ergonomics Tool Kit With Training Disc (Hardcover)
Finally, a practical, down-to-earth, common sense ergonomics guide for business. Written for the layman, Dan MacLeod's Office Ergonomics Kit is just that. It's a kit with all the essential parts to get a company's ergonomics program up and running.The book provides ample support and guidance for every aspect of managing an ergonomics program.

It's easy to get a program started with this manual. Employee and management training is a breeze with the slides that are provided on a floppy disk. You can tailor the Power Point presentation to your company needs. Another disk is full of helpful planning and program management aids. What a bonus!

As manager in corporate safety of the world's leading express freight company, I have found this guide to be invaluable. We use this kit as the basis for our ergonomics program.
