This book introduces Vision Zero, a commitment to create workplaces free from serious accidents, harm and work- related diseases while delivering excellence in Safety, Health and Wellbeing (SHW).

This book shows how to identify potential design errors and modify procedures in the design process to mitigate design-induced error.

Exploring diagnostic mix, clinic size, on-site industrial rehabilitation program benefits, prevention medicine, and wellness and fitness strategies, this book describes how to establish an on-site occupational health program.

Hypermedia and multimedia have penetrated the world of computer games, Internet, and CD-ROM based reference manuals.

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary research and applied field targeted to studying people interacting with information technology and designing usable and efficient systems for them.

Within the last fifty years the performance requirements for technical objects and systems were supplemented with: customer expectations (quality), abilities to prevent the loss of the object properties in operation time (reliability and maintainability), protection against the effects of undesirable events (safety and security) and the ability to

The elderly population is growing and disabilities tend to increase with age.

The effective and interrelated functioning of system reliability technology, human factors, and quality play an important role in the appropriate, efficient, and cost-effective delivery of health care.

Completely revised and updated, taking the scientific rigor to a whole new level, the second edition of the Occupational Ergonomics Handbook is now available in two volumes.

Systems engineering principles are currently being applied to system safety best practices in several industries, as well as state and local governments.

This book describes, for the first time in pedagogical form, an approach to computer-based work in complex sociotechnical systems developed over the last 30 years by Jens Rasmussen and his colleagues at Riso National Laboratory in Roskilde, Denmark.

Brand risk is often narrowly defined as risk to reputation.

Although cognitive engineering has gained widespread acceptance as one of the most promising approaches to addressing and preventing difficulties with human-machine coordination and collaboration, it still meets with considerable skepticism and resistance in some of the industries that could benefit from its insights and recommendations.

This new edition comes after about 15 years of development in the field of safety science and practice.
