These disorders result from a mismatch between a worker, their working conditions, and the task they perform. Improperly designed tasks or equipment, insufficient downtime between shifts or tasks, or even simple sitting position can all produce WMSDs. The key insights into preventing these disorders are produced by ergonomics, the scientific study of human bodies as they relate to objects, systems, and environments, especially work environments.  Occupational Ergonomics: A Practical Approach aims to supply an ergonomic toolkit for creating healthier relationships between workers' bodies and their work. Beginning with a set of foundational ergonomic principles, it then details multiple assessment techniques in ways eas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Companion Website x\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Book Organization 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Basics of Ergonomics 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Anthropometry 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Office Ergonomics 101\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Exercise Physiology 125\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Elements of Ergonomics Programs 153\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Biomechanics 185\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Psychophysics 201\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Hand Tools 227\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Vibration 251\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Industrial Workstation Design 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Manual Materials Handling 297\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders 307\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 How to Conduct an Ergonomic Assessment and Ergonomic Assessment Tools 345\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Ergonomics in the Healthcare Industry 381\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Case Studies 429\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Return on Investment 461\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e18 Ergonomic Climate 493\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix A Guides 501\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix B Tools 513\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 541\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 545\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528861983063,"sku":"9781119714255","price":107.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119714255.jpg?v=1731873317","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/occupational-ergonomics-9781119714255","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
