Ergonomics Checkpoints

The IEA has authored a book published in conjunction with the ILO, entitled the 'Ergonomics Checkpoints: Practical and Easy to Implement Solutions for Improving Safety, Health and Working Conditions', ISBN 92-2-109442-1, ILO: Geneva, 1996. This book has received widespread and enthusiastic acceptance, and due to high demand has been translated and published in several other languages, including Chinese, Farsi (draft), French, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Spanish, and Vietnamese.

Ergonomic Checkpoints for Agriculture

The IEA andILO have reached an agreement in principle to develop and publish the next book 'Ergonomics Checkpoints for Agriculture'. Dr. Kazu Kogi (Japan) has invited potential authors to contribute to this project, being developed by IEA and the International Labour Office (ILO) through its Occupational Safety and Health Branch. This collaboration reflects the urgent need for ergonomic guideliness in agriculture and would complement ILO's efforts to establish new standards in safety and health in agriculture.

The target groups will include agricultural workers, farmers, farm managers, extension workers and trainers, tool and machine designers, occupational safety and health personnel and others concerned with ergonomic aspects of agriculture.
