Описание:
In the ten years since the publication of the second edition of Human Thermal Environments: The Effects of Hot, Moderate, and Cold Environments on Human Health, Comfort, and Performance, Third Edition, the world has embraced electronic communications, making international collaboration almost instantaneous and global. However, there is still a need for a compilation of up-to-date information and best practices. Reflecting current changes in theory and applications, this third edition of a bestseller continues to be the standard text for the design of environments for humans to live and work safely, comfortably, and effectively, and for the design of materials that help people cope with their environments.
See What's New in the Third Edition:
All existing chapters significantly updated
Five new chapters
Testing and development of clothing
Adaptive models
Thermal comfort for special populations
Thermal comfort for special environments
Extreme environments
Weather
Outdoor environments and climate change
Fun runs, cold snaps, and heat waves
The book covers hot, moderate, and cold environments, and defines them in terms of six basic parameters: air temperature, radiant temperature, humidity, air velocity, clothing worn, and the person's activity. It focuses on the principles and practice of human response, which incorporates psychology, physiology, and environmental physics with applied ergonomics. The text then discusses water requirements, computer modeling, computer-aided design, and current standards. A systematic treatment of thermal environments and how they affect humans in real-world applications, the book links the health and engineering aspects of the built environment. It provides you with updated tools, techniques, and methods for the design of products and environments that achieve thermal comfort.
Описание: This volume is the third in a series of volumes published in conjunction with the International Symposium on Aviation Psychology. As with the previous volumes, the aim of the current volume is not only to report the latest findings in the field, but also to suggest new directions for advancing the field.

Описание: This book discusses human heat stress and how people respond to hot environments. It covers how it is measured and assessed, so that it can be avoided, or casualties can be predicted. This topic is relevant to indoor and outdoor environments from industrial processes to sporting events, and military exercises.

Описание: This book provides an up-to-date, accessible, and comprehensive coverage of human cold stress from principles and theory to practical application.It defines cold stress and how people respond to it. It describes how to assess a cold environment to predict when discomfort, wind-chill, hypothermia, shivering, frostbite, and other consequences will occur. It also advises on what to do to prevent unacceptable outcomes, including determination and selection of clothing to preserve comfort and health.The book will be of interest to practitioners and students and anyone involved with fields such as textiles, clothing, and industrial hygiene.

Описание: Even with today's mobile technology, most work is still undertaken in a physical workplace. Today's workplaces need to be healthy environments that minimize the risks of illnesses or injuries to occupants to compete in the marketplace. This necessitates the application of good ergonomics design principles to the creation of effective workplaces, and this is the focus of this book. This book will: - Focus on ergonomic design for better health and ergonomic design for better productivity - Presents environments that support new ways of working and alternative workplace strategies, as well as the impacts of new technologies - Covers the role of ergonomics design in creating sustainable workplaces - Includes ergonomics design for a wide variety of workplaces, from offices to hospitals, to hotels to vehicles, etc... - Shows the design principles on how to design and create a healthy and productive workplace The market lacks an ergonomics design book that covers the topics that this book will cover. This book summarizes design principles for practitioners, and applies them to the variety of workplace settings described in the book. No other book currently on the market does that.
Описание: The Fast and The Furious: Drivers, Speed Cameras and Control in a Risk Society presents a sociological and criminological perspective critical to understanding the driver's role at the centre of road safety interventions. Such an approach is, it is argued, as crucial to an understanding of attempts to reduce road crashes, deaths and injuries as approaching such questions from an engineering or educational perspective. The book offers an explanation for the continued debate about one road safety intervention - the speed camera - by situating that debate within contemporary literature about the 'risk society' (Beck, 1992) and more broadly understood experiences of risk faced on a daily basis by drivers. Rather than a focus on risk as something that can be objectively assessed, measured and managed separately from the social context in which it is encountered, it suggests that 'risk' is something that permeates this particular debate from every angle. The book achieves its aims by utilising sociological and criminological perspectives to investigate issues such as: - the social context in which it is possible for drivers to reject official scientific expertise about crash causation and camera effectiveness - the self-defined 'respectability' of the population being problematised and its juxtaposition with a 'proper' police focus on 'real criminals' - the reconceptualisation of law-breaking as risk-taking rather than inherently 'wrong' behaviour and its consequences for the enforcement of laws based on risk assessment - the experience of being controlled by technology and of receiving what is essentially 'automated justice'. These and other issues are explored and suggested as illuminating of both the real concerns underpinning this debate and potentially instructive for future attempts to control risky behaviour both within and beyond a road safety context.

Описание:
Most Fortune 1000 companies still struggle with workspace planning and design issues. They invest millions of dollars each year with the expectation that new buildings and major renovations will help transform their culture, support innovation, strengthen desired behaviors and increase organizational effectiveness. And let's not forget reducing costs. But there is rarely any actual measurement of the success of a new workplace against specific business or design goals (apart from cost savings). Even less often is there any ongoing measurement program to assess and improve the quality of the workplace.
Measuring Workplace Performance, Second Edition explores a fundamentally new way of thinking about how organizations behave and change and what this means for planning and measuring the success of the facilities that house them. This is not a planning guide or a step by step design cookbook. Rather, author Michael O'Neill presents a thought-provoking biological model for thinking about organizations and workplaces, describes the tools to gather information and analyze success, and presents plenty of scientific case studies with hard performance and financial metrics. O'Neill addresses issues such as: What are the effects of adding flexibility into facility and workplace design, in terms of improving employee and organizational performance? How do we measure the performance of facilities in terms of supporting desired behaviors (like communication, collaboration), efficient business processes and other concrete performance/financial improvements? Using real-world case studies across a variety of industries, O'Neill shows the types of performance measures that leading-edge companies use as well as the improvements they attain by incorporating flexibility and control into their workspaces. He uses the data from these studies to create models showing credible links between specific design features, and behavioral and business process outco

Описание: Occupational Ergonomics focuses on prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders with an emphasis on engineering and administrative controls. Divided into four broad sections, it provides knowledge about risk factors for upper and lower extremities at work; concentrates on risk factors for work-related lower back disorders; discusses fundamentals of surveillance of musculoskeletal disorders and surveillance methods based on the assessment of body discomfort; and focuses on medical management of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, testing of physical ability for employment decisions, assessment of functional capacities, and applications of ergonomics knowledge in rehabilitation.
