Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design

Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design

This book focuses exclusively on ergonomics in the design and use of hand tools. Hand tools have been an integral supplement to the human hand since the beginning of civilization. Recently they have been pinpointed as a prominent cause of workplace disease. Cumulative Trauma Disorders such as Tendonitus Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Raynaud's Syndrome are caused by the specialization of motion employed when using a screw driver the shock to the hand and wrist when a hammer strikes a nail or the vibration of a power saw. Ergonomics and Safety in Hand Tool Design explores the relationship between Biomechanics Safety and Ergonomics allowing the reader to recognize evaluate and control ergonomic risk factors and improve hand tool design. After a history of hand tool use and design the book is broken down by the various disciplines as they apply to hand tools taking a broad approach. The author gives special attention to safe design and use illustrated with detailed diagrams. The text serves as a guide to the human factors in safety and ergonomics for safety professionals.

Cognition and Tool Use Forms of Engagement in Human and Animal Use of Tools

Cognition and Tool Use Forms of Engagement in Human and Animal Use of Tools

The ability to use tools is a distinguishing feature of human beings. It represents a complex psychomotor activity that we are only now beginning to comprehend. Robust new theoretical accounts allow us to better understand how people use tools and explain differences in human and animal tool use from the perspective of cognitive science. Our understanding needs to be grounded upon research into how people use tools which draws upon many disciplines from ergonomics to anthropology to cognitive science to neuropsychology. Cognition and Tool Use: Forms of Engagement in Human and Animal Use of Tools presents a single coherent account of human tool use as a complex psychomotor activity. It explains how people use tools and how this activity can succeed or fail then describes the design and development of usable tools. This book considers contemporary tool use in domains such as surgery and considers future developments in human-computer interfaces such as haptic virtual reality and tangible user interfaces. No other single text brings together the research from the different disciplines ranging from archaeology and anthropology to psychology and ergonomics which contribute to this topic. Graduate students professionals and researchers will find this guide to be invaluable. | Cognition and Tool Use Forms of Engagement in Human and Animal Use of Tools
