“…In Switzerland, in a fiveyear period preceding 2006, 18% of victims were under the supervision of mountain guides (Walter & Brügger, 2012). A common denominator in avalanche accidents is that the victims have overlooked or ignored danger signs, or they have not taken adequate precautions in obviously dangerous conditions (Atkins, 2000;Vanpoulle et al, 2017). In spite of detailed information on snow, weather and terrain factors in avalanche bulletins, most avalanche accidents take place during danger level 2 and 3 conditions (EAWS, 2016; Greene et al, 2006;Techel & Zweifel, 2013).…”

“…Thus, the effective prevention of those risks in the outcrops depends on thorough understanding and observation of the risks in the field, amalgamating the expertise of geologists and safety engineers. For Vanpoulle, Vignac, & Soulé (2017), in the outdoor activities, accidents usually proceed from the interaction of various, sometimes scattered causes or factors, rooted in different time scales. For example, a fall may have been provoked by fatigue that may be a result of a late start or a biased evaluation of the route's length.…”

Exploration, drilling and production are the main activities of upstream segment and defines strategy, guidelines and budgets of many O&G companies. However, none of these can happens without an important first step, where there is a huge work from geocientists: the field geological studies, where for years geologists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers have studied surface outcrops together to determine subsurface geological models for oil reservoirs. Although this work on outcrops is also part of the O&G segment, and has also been developed for years and years, the safety culture of these sites is not the same as on oil rigs, offshore platforms and onshore oil fields. In this sense, and seeking to add value for people and build a new safety culture, the present study puts in place a new element to this equation, having safety engineers and geoscientists - mainly geologists and geophysicists - developing together all the activities of geology field studies, promoting a new safer way to carry out an important and necessary study for the entire upstream chain. Thus, the aim of this study is to present the results that emerged from the teamwork between safety engineers and geologists, in the geoscience training activities of field courses in several outcrops in Brazil, South Africa and Argentina. These field courses are part of a main training program for geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers and other related professionals, coordinated by a corporate university of an integrated petroleum company, with national and international operation.

“…Pour aboutir au formulaire en ligne sur le site de C2C, une longue phase de préparation a été nécessaire, mobilisant notamment des compétences méthodologiques classiques en sociologie : choix des champs et libellés, tests en ligne auprès de populations hétérogènes de pratiquants (n=53), entretiens a posteriori (n=5), etc. (Vanpoulle & al., 2016). Lors de cette 2 nde phase, nous nous sommes efforcés de respecter plusieurs principes (simplicité, brièveté, accessibilité, facilité d'usage, précision, confidentialité et utilité perçue), susceptibles selon la littérature sur l'incidentologie (Sepeda, 2006 ;Yang & Maxwell, 2011) de conduire à une appropriation du système par ses destinataires.…”

La place de la sociologie au sein d'une recherche action collaborative : Retour d'expérience sur une innovation en prévention des risques. Sociologies Pratiques, 37(2), 59-69. Résumé : À partir d'une expérience de cinq années de recherche soutenue par une fondation d'entreprise (2012-2017), cette contribution décrit nos pratiques d'enquête, de plus en plus finalisées et collaboratives. De quelle manière, et avec quels effets, un collectif de chercheurs a glissé d'une posture distanciée, initialement destinée à réaliser un état des lieux de l'accidentologie dans les sports de montagne, à une recherche-action centrée sur la coproduction d'une plateforme de partage de retours d'expérience ? Dans le cadre de commandes peu sociologisées, nous montrerons en quoi le fait d'être sociologues a facilité la réalisation des travaux, sans en occulter les limites et les compromis.
