'This work makes a valuable contribution to the Human Factors literatureIt is a practically orientated book that presents comprehensive coverage of the relevant material ... this book will be invaluable to academics, students, to ergonomics practitioners and to related professionals' - Elizabeth Hellier, University of Plymouth
'On the whole, I did enjoy this book. The structure is good, with summaries and case studies for all chapters; and in the main it does fulfil its aim of providing an introduction to this area particularly for those on occupational psychology courses.' - Lynda Holyoak, University of Central Lancashire, in The Psychologist
'The author's aims, to cover the topics of 'human-machine safety' and 'design of environments and work: health and safety', are achieved in an informative and readable way. Throughout, the text contains amusing, but constructive, referenced quotes about design and ergonomics/human factors. The case studies are up to date and most informative, providing good snippets of information for both students and practitioners, making one realise how frequently a problem is the result of the lack of application of ergonomics/human factors. There is an abundance of references to check out further details on all topics, and each chapter finishes with a helpful summary of key points. The book is certainly a useful source for students, academics and practitioners alike and is clearly of great relevance to individual in the areas of human factors and ergonomics, applied psychology, engineering, and computing.' - Charlotte Brace, Loughborough University, in Ergonomics Abstracts
