As the title implies, this book is concerned with the totality of human problems in the workplace. It deals with topics that might otherwise be subsumed under the more specific headings of ergonomics, human factors and occupational hygiene, along with various aspects of industrial engineering, toxicology, psychology and medicine. Little or no specific background is required of the reader and there is minimal use of specialized terminology. A deliberately generalist viewpoint is taken by the author. The book is intended for such readers as the student or practitioner in ergonomics requiring knowledge more common to the occupational hygienist (or vice versa), and the industrial engineer, physician or human resources person seeking knowledge in both these areas - literally it is written for anyone with a professional or personal interest in health, safety and well-being in the workplace.
