Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
The unorganized sector—encompassing agriculture, construction, small-scale manufacturing, healthcare, vending, and service-oriented workforces—remains the backbone of many economies worldwide. Yet, workers in this sector often operate in hazardous conditions with little or no social security, occupational safety measures, or ergonomic considerations. Repetitive tasks, awkward postures, poorly designed tools, and physically demanding work contribute to a high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and other health risks.
Ergonomics Risk Assessment in Unorganized Sectors is a comprehensive volume that sheds light on these pressing issues and presents practical solutions. It combines theoretical frameworks, research-based methodologies, and real-world case studies to offer a balanced and applied perspective.
This book:
· Explores the challenges of ergonomics in unorganized sectors across agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, construction, and service industries.
· Introduces and applies methodologies such as RULA, REBA, and other postural risk evaluation techniques.
· Includes case studies ranging from ergonomic analyses of cotton harvesting and forklift operation to healthcare tasks, cricket postures, and hawker workforces and practices from India, Indonesia, and beyond to illustrate cross-cultural dimensions of ergonomics
· Highlights causes, impacts, and innovative preventive measures against musculoskeletal disorders.
· Addresses the ergonomic risks faced by women in workplaces and their unique occupational health concerns and discusses innovative ergonomic interventions, workplace design improvements, and policy recommendations to enhance worker safety and productivity.
This book serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, ergonomists, industrial engineers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers.
