Training to safety rules use. Some reflections on a case study

Abstract

International audienceThis article proposes to consider training in occupational risk prevention as situated at the crossroads between regulated safety (based on prescribed safety rules and procedures)-and managed safety (based on operators' knowledge and experience). A case study in the field of ready-mixed concrete delivery to worksites is presented. It demonstrates the redefinitions of a safety rule within companies, giving it little operational value for operators, and the resources that they have built with experience. These resources are also shown to be limited. Indeed, not everything can be learned through in situ experience and peer mediation. Thus, the " professional knowledge of reference " needs to be identified in order to design training content that combines the "regulated safety" and "managed safety" that are necessary to produce safe working conditions. This approach to training design, based on the analysis of activity in situ, represents a shift away from the technical-regulatory and behavioral approach that still dominates the field of training in occupational risk prevention

Occupational Safety and Health Education and Training: A Latent Dirichlet Allocation Systematic Literature Review

“…§ Topic 3: studies on safety commitment of managers, owners and leaders, which impacts on safety outcomes[20][21][22][23][24][25]. § Topic 4: studies on the effects of safety education and training on workers, which consider behaviour change, situation awareness and other measures for efficacy[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. § Topic 5: studies on education programs provided to young or inexperienced workers to increase their level of knowledge and risk awareness[35][36][37][38][39].…”

Identification, Selection and Prioritization of Key Performance Indicators for the Improvement of Occupational Health (Case Study: An Automotive Company)

“…Promotion of individualsʼ education to maintain health is one of the strategic goals of safety and health performance that should be achieved in line with the development and institutionalization of the OHS principles in organizations [64]. Recent studies have shown that OHS training is an important tool in preventing injuries, risks and occupational diseases [65][66][67] because it is a prerequisite for improving OHS [67].…”

Proposition méthodologique en ergotoxicologie pour révéler les expositions à des produits chimiques

“…Cet outil et les résultats qu'il produit cherchent alors à proposer des mesures correctives pour rectifier les mauvaises pratiques de l'opérateur générant ces expositions. La conséquence possible de ces usages de la VEM est de reproduire des pratiques de prévention où l'opérateur reste une cible de la prévention à atteindre et à convaincre, et non un acteur à part entière (Clot, 2010 ;Hale & Borys, 2013 ;Mohammed-Brahim & Garrigou, 2009 ;Vidal-Gomel, 2017). L'absence de description des activités (au sens ergonomique du terme) et facteurs influençant l'activité des travailleurs est constatée dans cette littérature.…”

“…Dans les approches en hygiène industrielle, les activités sont cibles de transformation au détriment des déterminants (techniques, organisationnels et humains) qui les influencent. L'analyse plurifactorielle de la situation d'exposition pouvant porter atteinte à la santé reste partielle par rapport aux pratiques décrites par Daniellou (1992), Garrigou et al (2004), Mohammed-Brahim & Garrigou (2009) et Vidal-Gomel (2017). De plus, la prise en compte des savoirs et représentations des opérateurs exposés n'est pas abordée dans les approches classiques en hygiène industrielle et en prévention, ce qui du point de vue de l'ergonomie reste une voie de développement des recherches et interventions portant sur les expositions professionnelles.…”
