Ergonomics and human factors impact how humans interact with the world around them. Understanding these factors can be difficult. To cut through the tricky aspects of the subject, this bestselling textbook offers a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the field. This title places the subject matter into a system context using a human-machine model to structure the chapters and a knowledge application model to structure the organisation of material in each chapter.
Every chapter covers Core Concepts, Basic Applications, Tools and Processes, and System Integration issues regardless of topic. This updated fifth edition provides new material on current occupational health issues such as obesity, menopause, and other modern work-related medical concerns. Updated to include coverage of new technological developments such as self-driving cars, exoskeletons, AI, hybrid working and cell phone ergonomics. Examples where tools are used including the Strain Index and the Lifting Fatigue Failure Tool have been fully updated, featuring signposting to additional resources and toolkits. Readers will grasp a full and thorough grounding in the need-to-knows of ergonomics and human factors.
Introduction to Human Factors and Ergonomics, Fifth Edition is the premier textbook for any student where ergonomics and human factors play a part in their discipline, including those in aviation, medicine and healthcare, energy, engineering, health and safety and the sciences.
Also included in this updated new edition are an instructor’s manual and a guide to tutorials and seminars. Over 500 PowerPoint slides are available for academic use from the publisher.
