Advances in Physical Ergonomics and Human Factors Kartoniert (TB)

This book reports on the state of the art in physical ergonomics and is concerned with the design of products process services and work systems to assure their productive safe and satisfying use by people. With focus on the human body's responses to physical and physiological work demands repetitive strain injuries from repetition vibration force and posture are the most common types of issues examined along with their design implications. The book explores a wide range of topics in physical ergonomics which includes the consequences of repetitive motion materials handling workpla ce safety and usability in the use of portable devices design working postures and the work environment. Mastering physical ergonomics and safety engineering concepts is fundamental to the creation of products and systems that people are able to use as well as the avoidance of stresses and minimization of the risk of accidents. Based on the AHFE 2017 Conference on Physical Ergonomics and Human Factors July 17-21 2017 in Los Angeles California USA this book provides readers with a comprehensive view of the current challenges in Physical Ergonomics which are a critical aspect in the design of any human-centered technological system and factors influencing human performance.
