Fitting the Task to the Man: A Textbook of Occupational Ergonomics

The work environment has undergone rapid changes in recent years particularly in the penetration of computer display into modern offices. With increasing numbers of workers being tied to man machine systems, susceptibility to constrained postures, visual strain and mental and physical stresses have increased. This fourth edition of Fitting the task to the Man has been considerably revised and enlarged, but the aim has remained the same: to impart the rudiments of occupational ergonomics to those responsible for design, management and safety in the workplace.
