La prévention des lésions consécutives à des heurts, des glissades, des coincements ou toute autre perturbation du mouvement au travail constitue un enjeu considérable. Cent quarante-trois récits d’accidents survenus dans les secteurs de la construction et de la métallurgie ont été analysés au moyen d’une approche probabiliste pour en extraire les ...
A probabilistic approach has been developed to extract recurrent serious Occupational Accident with Movement Disturbance (OAMD) scenarios from narrative texts within a prevention framework. Relevant data extracted from 143 accounts was initially coded as logical combinations of generic accident factors. A Bayesian Network (BN)-based model was then ...
Workplace design and upkeep, or human factors, are frequently advanced for explaining so-called Occupational Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents (OSTFAs). Despite scientific progress, these accidents, and more broadly Occupational Accidents with Movement Disturbance (OAMDs), are also commonly considered to be "simple". This paper aims to stimulate change...
Slips, collisions and other accidental movement disturbances are very common in work situations and occur in every occupational activity sector. Research into these accidents was conducted at a hospital, based on analysing collectively and in-depth cases of accidents involving movement disturbance. This revealed accident factors of various types as...
La mise en oeuvre de poudres ou de produits pulvérulents combustibles peut entraîner, dans certaines conditions, la formation d'atmosphères explosives (ATEX). Cent quatre-vingt-dix explosions de poussières, survenues sur la période de 1903 à janvier 2010, ont été répertoriées dans la base de données ARIA du BARPI. Cette étude a porté sur les secteu...

Accidents on the level (AOL) rank second amongst the most numerous and serious occupational accidents with days lost in France and are a major health and safety problem in every sector of activity. The case study described in this paper was conducted at a metallurgical company with 300 employees. The aims of this work were dual: 1) to extend the ge...
Cet article a pour objet de faire évoluer le regard porté sur les accidents de plain-pied à partir de l'analyse des données statistiques nationales relatives aux accidents du travail et également à partir de résultats d'études menées en entreprises et centrées sur l'analyse de ce type d'accident. Ces deux éléments concourent au même objectif de sen...
The purpose of this work was to further the knowledge of contexts surrounding accidents on the level in occupational situations with a view to proposing suitable actions for the prevention of these accidents. The study, undertaken at three establishments belonging to a national rail transport company, was based on quantitative and qualitative analy...
Accidents on the level occurring in occupational situations are of concern in France and abroad. INRS (French national research and safety institute) has integrated these accidents into its research and study program. In this paper, we propose a definition of targeted accidents and detail a number of obstacles to their prevention. We go on to descr...
Slips, trips and falls on the level are considered commonplace and are rarely subjected to in-depth analysis. They occur in highly varied circumstances in an occupational situation. In-depth analysis of these accidents was conducted within a company with the aim of understanding them better, to be able to discuss prevention field possibilities and ...
