โฆ Synopsis
Expertise gleaned from more than 20 years of designing safer and more productive work environments has been collected in a practical new source book entitled, Ergonomic design for people at work, Volume 1. The 448-page text, available in hardcover for $45.00 through Lifetime Learning Publications of Belmont, California, integrates the findings of engineers, psychologists, physiologists, physicians and computer specialists employed by the Human Factors Section of Eastman Kodak Co in Rochester, New York. The book describes innovative techniques for improving work performance and prodttctivity; offers guidelines for workplace and equipment design, paying special attention to the physical capabilities of women and older workers; and gives proven methods for reducing injuries, discomfort and job-related stress. It is divided into five sections, including Workplace Design, Equipment Design, Information Transfer, Environment, and Appendices on anthropometric data and survey techniques. The Kodak authors also outline methods for evaluating existing conditions and improving them quickly. Other sections describe how to design adjustable workplaces, select and instal safe video display units, reduce noise and vibration, improve thermal comfort, and to use special purpose lighting to improve inspection performance.
