Presenting the proceedings of the Ergonomics Society's annual conference, Contemporary Ergonomics 2006 embraces the wide range of topics covered by ergonomics. Individual papers provide insight into current practice, present new research findings, and form an invaluable reference source.The book explores a wide range of topics including ergonomics, human factors and user-centered design. It also features related disciplines such as psychology, engineering, and physiology. Particular emphasis is given to the utility of these disciplines in improving health, safety, efficiency, and productivity.With coverage that goes beyond mainstream ergonomics and human factors, Contemporary Ergonomics 2006 appeals to all those who are concerned with the interaction of people with their working and leisure environment - including designers, manufacturing and production engineers, health and safety specialists, occupational, applied and industrial psychologists and applied physiologists.
