Creating the Ergonomically Sound Workplace

From Training to Performance in the 21st Century is a series sponsored by the National Society for Performance and Instruction (NSPI) which provides valuable how–to resources to help trainers, human resource professionals, and human performance technologists improve performance in the workplace. This book is part of the first three–volume set, Designing the Work Environment for Optimum Performance,

which shows how to fix the workplace, not the worker.

The set provides hands–on tools to help create work environments that support human performance.

Draws on numerous scientific studies and the author′s professional experience in assessing real–life ergonomic problems in diverse workplaces nationwide to provide a systematic approach including reproducible checklists and worksheets––for performing ergonomic assessments to identify and correct health hazards at work.

He presents a variety of practical, cost–effective solutions from adjusting chairs, lowering computer keyboards, taking frequent microbreaks, and finding new ways of performing repetitive tasks––for preventing work–related health problems.
