About this title

Synopsis:

We all wish to be productive and successful. Nobody wants to suffer from pains in the wrist or shoulder or back, or other 'headaches'. We have all experienced those times when we were satisfied with the work we do, even liked to do it, and when it was actually fun - why shouldn't it be this way more often? "Office Ergonomics" suggests how to: set up the office, in the company building and at home; interact with your colleagues; organize and pace your work; select and arrange computer equipment and furniture; and, utilize good lighting, the sound environment, and climate ...in other words, how to work 'at ease and efficiently'.This is the motto of this book. 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 - 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.
