Ergonomics: Foundational Principles, Applications, and Technologies
A university-level ergonomics textbook covering anthropometry, biomechanics, work physiology, and workstation design, with worked calculations and case studies. Readers finish able to measure human capabilities and apply them to evaluating and redesigning industrial workplaces.
Fitting the Human: Introduction to Ergonomics
Occupational ergonomics textbook built on human anatomy, physiology, and anthropometry, then applied to manual handling, posture, tool and workstation design, and shift work. Gives engineers the measurement basis for fitting tasks and equipment to real human limits.
Advanced Ergonomics
The course is designed to provide an understanding of how anthropometric and biomechanical information can be used in the design of workstations and products such as footwear with the aim of improving safety, productivity, comfort and health of people.
