Abstract
THESE lectures outline certain aspects of the rationalisation of industrial work in the light of the physiological requirements of the human body. They describe in a popular and readable manner the way in which the scientific principles determining human efficiency and fatigue are being elucidated and indicate the contribution which this branch of industrial physiology has to make to human welfare in industry. The survey is not limited to the investigations of British workers alone but also includes a brief description of the Dortmund Institute for the Study of the Physiology of Labour.
