Advances in Industrial Ergonomics and Safety

Each year public awareness of the importance of ergonomics for improving people's working conditions and home environments increases, as the application of ergonomics brings more and more tangible benefits to society at large.

The Annual International Industrial Ergonomics and Safety Conference held in San Antonio, Texas, USA in June 1994, and sponsored by the International Foundation for Industrial Ergonomics and Safety Research, brings together more than 200 ergonomic professionals from North America, Europe, and Asia to present over 120 research papers, in a quest to share their knowledge of new developments in design for people and improving safety at work. This volume, the sixth in the Advances Series, is a reference on the variety of problems that industrial and office workers face today, and offers solutions in the drive towards the safe and efficient workplace.
