Applied Ergonomics is a text devoted to sharing the experiences of ergonomics practitioners in a variety of applications, situations and environments. The chapters of this text are a series of papers authored by practicing ergonomists to provide an insight into the “real world” application of ergonomics principles. Each chapter represents a paper presented at the Third Annual Applied Ergonomics Conference in Los Angeles, California, March, 2000. A heartfelt “thanks” is extended to the individual authors for their willingness and effort to document their experiences so that other ergonomics specialists can benefit.

There are thirty-five chapters in this text and they are organized into sections by the type of ergonomics application. The application sections include: manufacturing and production processes; support and service jobs; office environments; potpourri; health management; and design. Each chapter can be read in the authors’ own words as they share what has worked, or not worked, for them. Each chapter will have relevance to you based upon your own work, your environment, and your degree of experience and formal ergonomics training. Nonetheless, you should find all of the chapters valuable in helping you decide appropriate actions to take in order to improve ergonomics workplace conditions.
