A new NAA publication designed to help newspapers incorporate ergonomics into their operations will be available in time for NEXPO. Ergonomics and the Newspaper Industry provides tools and information to improve the physical work environment.
The guide takes you through the ergonomics process step by step, from worksite analysis to solutions for minimizing musculoskeletal disorders. It contains sample checklists and surveys developed for newspapers, a glossary, photographs and examples. Based on research conducted over a three-year period at a number of newspapers, Ergonomics and the Newspaper Industry covers both the office and production environments.
Costs are $100 for NAA members, $200 for nonmembers. For more information, contact NAA's Liz Miller by email, mille@naa.org or phone, (703) 648-1230.
