Office Ergonomics suggests how to:
- Set up the office, in the company building and at home
- Interact with colleagues
- Organize and pace your work
- Select and arrange computer equipment and furniture
- Utilize good lighting, the sound environment and climate
This is a practical book, but it is based on sound theory and solid research. It has nine fast-paced chapters, written so that everybody can use it: office manager, equipment purchaser, designer and architect – and especially the individual office worker. It is well-illustrated with both drawings and brief case studies. Moreover, each section ends with a series of practical design recommendations.
