Reviews

The book, like its predecessor, provides a very well illustrated and comprehensive set of manual work conditions that are amenable to ergonomics intervention methods. The rules , principles and processes to achieve positive outcomes are clearly presented. This book should be on every practicing ergonomists book shelf. -Don Chaffin, PhD, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA The book's strengths lie in the fact that it tells the reader up front that Ergonomics is not a costly intervention. It can provide inexpensive solutions that lead to significant improvements in the working environment. ... plain speaking, practical, sensible and usable and the solutions have grown from the author's real-life experiences in the working world. -Dr. Celine McKeown, Link Ergonomics, Nottingham, England, UK
