Ergonomics – the science of fitting the work environment to the worker – concerns everyone. A collection of ideas for simple solutions to common ergonomic problems, this heavily illustrated book is divided into the seven work types:
1. Seated repetitive work
2. Seated work with large parts
3. Seated control work
4. Standing work
5. Standing heavy lifting and/or carrying work
6. Work with hands above chest height
7. Work with hand tools
This book is intended as a starting point in the day-to-day approach to the working environment. The drawings do not provide detailed explanations of construction; they are intended to spark your imagination and offer suggestions. This book should be of great interest to anyone and everyone who has responsibility for the working environment.
