This bestselling textbook has now been fully revised and updated from its original 1990 edition. Comprising a compendium of ergonomics methods and techniques which is both broad and deep, it covers every aspect of human work and is carefully designed and written to accompany and complement other texts on ergonomics and human factors principles and theory. New and old readers alike will be delighted by the revision of chapters on the framework and context of methodology, the observation of performance, task analysis, experimental and study design, data collection, product assessment, environmental assessment, measurement of work and the evaluation of work systems (human-computer interface, computer-aided design and work stress). There are five entirely new chapters on control room ergonomics, psychophysiological functions, ergonomics risk assessment, fieldwork and participatory work design. The editors have once again brought together a team of world-renowned experts and created a forum for them to introduce their most valued techniques and methods. Readers of Evaluation of Human Work will be as diverse as its contents. They may be students seeking an introduction for ergonomics investigantion; industrial, business, or human-service-oriented professionals seeking an understanding of what ergonomics can offer; or qualified ergonomists seeking to inform their practice. All will find it interesting: to many it will become an invaluable resource.
