Abstract:
The significant rise in the number of women and minorities in the work force and their economic importance necessitate a different approach to human factors and ergonomics. This approach requires research to develop anthropometric and biomechanic data describing the reality of the current and projected work force and application of the data to all aspects of the worksite, from tool and furniture design to sophisticated information-processing equipment such as voice-activated computers. Failure to do so will perpetuate the rising rate of injuries due to ergonomic hazards.
