The latest in a series focused on improving health conditions, this volume addresses work environments, bringing together diverse sources of literature that support preventive approaches to work design and organization.

This reference provides an overview of relevant literature to engineers, managers, accountants, occupational health and safety specialists, and industrial hygienists, so that they and other professionals can understand what has caused our workplaces to become primary sources of physical and mental illness. By focusing on diagnostic and prescriptive approaches, managers can implement designs and decisions that preventâ"or greatly reduceâ"undesired and harmful effects.

Other titles in the series include:

Healthy Cities
Sustainable Production
Sustainable Energy
