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.
