Posted By Stuart Nagle Hi, All. I am about to start looking into ergonimics in the work place. Ergonomics = 'study of the relationship between workers and their environment' I would be grateful for any useful information on this subject or details of any (not too labourious) papers you know of relevant and up to date. best regards... Stuart Nagle

Posted By Mark Preston I appreciate that what I'm about to recommend is rather more than you've asked for, but try to get hold of "Fitting the task to the human" by Karl Kroemer (previous editions "Fitting the task to the man" by Etienne Grandjean). This is a standard work and you should find it in county or further education libraries. It's still only 20 quid for a well bound paperback - which beats the HSE on value for money hands down. - order it through the publishers Taylor and Francis. www.tandf.co.uk My copy's always within my horizontal arc of grasp.
