Ergonomi

“Ergonomi” er en grundbog til sygepleje, fysioterapi og ergoterapi del af FADL’s Forlags serie af undervisningsbøger til professionsbachelorer. Bogen har fokus på den enkelte patient, samarbejdet med patienten og den sundhedsprofessionelles arbejdsvilkår. De fire forfattere - en sygeplejerske, to ergoterapeuter og en fysioterapeut - gør ergonomi relevant, håndgribelig og nærværende for læseren, og forfatternes forskellige baggrunde gør bogen tværfaglig og teoretisk velbegrundet. Kapitlerne er bygget op på en overskuelig måde og hvert kapitel indeholder et resumé og forslag til øvelser i praksis. Foruden en grundlæggende introduktion af ergonomibegrebet kommer bogen bl.a. ind på kognitiv og organisatorisk ergonomi, de 7 basale bevægelsesmønstre, basal biomekanik, arbejdsstillinger, forflytningsteknik, og hjælpemidler. Bogen er rigt illustreret og fuld af faktabokse og relevante cases, som gør bogen konkret, overskuelig og nem at læse. “Ergonomi” hjælper de studerende til at koble teori og praksis, så ergonomien bliver håndgribelig og anvendelig i de studerendes kliniske ophold. Bogen henvender sig til alle tre faggrupper - sygepleje, fysioterapi og ergonomi. Den kan bruges af den studerende, som er i gang med en sundhedsuddannelse, men også af den nyuddannede eller den mere erfarne sundhedsprofessionelle til at fastholde eller videreudvikle klinisk praksis. Til bogen er der tilknyttet et powerpointshow, som kan bruges af undervisere eller andre interesserede, som ønsker at formidle ergonomi i undervisningen.

Nearly all our safety data collection and reporting systems are backwardlooking: incident reports; dashboards; compliance monitoring systems; and so on. This book shows how we can use safety data in a forward-looking, predictive sense.Predictive Safety Analytics: Reducing Risk through Modeling and Machine Learning contains real use cases where organizations have reduced incidents by employing predictive analytics to foresee and mitigate future risks. It discusses how Predictive Safety Analytics is an opportunity to break through the plateau problem where safety rate improvements have stagnated in many organizations. The book presents how the use of data, coupled with advanced analytical techniques, including machine learning, has become a proven and successful innovation. Emphasis is placed on how the book can "meet you where you are" by illuminating a path to get there, starting with simple data the organization likely already has. Highlights of the book are the real examples and case studies that will assist in generating thoughts and ideas for what might work for individual readers and how they can adapt the information to their particular situations.This book is written for professionals and researchers in system reliability, risk and safety assessment, quality control, operational managers in selected industries, data scientists, and ML engineers. Students taking courses in these areas will also find this book of interest to them.

In the world of transportation, fatigue is a silent killer that can affect us all. Understanding fatigue, including how to manage it to minimize safety risk, is of great importance. However, while it is one thing to recognize that fatigue is a critical safety issue, it is quite another to set up a successful, scientifically informed fatigue risk management programme. This book is here to help. It has been carefully designed as a comprehensive reference point, bringing together international expertise from leaders in fatigue science, and showcasing valuable insights from transportation industry practitioners.The 40 authored chapters are divided into six sections, to better understand fatigue science, the consequences of fatigue in transportation, contributors to fatigue, managing fatigue and promoting alertness, real world case studies of fatigue management in practice, and future perspectives. While it is possible to read each chapter in isolation, most will be gained by reading the book as a whole. Each chapter starts with an abstract overview and concludes with summary bullet points, creating a handy "quick check" for key points.This accessible text is for those who are interested in supporting alert and safe transportation operations. It is suitable for professionals, transport managers, government advisors, policy makers, students, academics, and anyone who wants to learn more. All transport modes (road, rail, maritime and aviation) are considered. For anyone waking up to the complex challenge of fatigue management, this handbook is a must.
