Although Ergonomic Workplace Analysis (EWA) practice is common in Brazil, some critics have asserted that it is not sufficient to bring about an effective change of the workplace. Although this criticism may be partly admissible in regard to Brazilian ergonomics, it cannot beconsidered to apply to France, where Activity-Centered Ergonomics was born...

The objective of this study is to compare the interventionist methodologies of Ergonomic Work Analysis (EWA) influenced by a French approach, and the Change Laboratory method based on the Activity Theory approach. This study aims at identifying complementarities and convergences between these methods to improve work related accident and diseases pr...

Personal protection equipment (PPE) holds a privileged position in safety interventions in many countries, despite the fact that they should only be used as a last resort. This is even more paradoxical because many concerns have arisen as to their actual effectiveness under working conditions and their ability to provide the protection attributed t...

The question of the effectiveness of the risk prevention measures related to the use of CMR chemicals represents high challenges in terms of the health of the workers exposed to them. In most cases, prevention measures are limited to the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), although the regulation favours collective protective equipment (CPE...

Occupational accident rates in Brazil are still very high. Paradoxically, the national prevention system does not contribute to change in this scenario due mainly to the hegemony of behavioral safety approaches (BSA) that drives not only professional practice and in-company safety programs, but also the way of thinking and the actions of institutio...

In 1880, Marx wrote and published A Worker's Inquiry to investigate the living and health conditions of the French working class. In addition to the research itself, it had to do with politicizing and strengthening the French workers‘ struggle organizations. A Worker's Inquiry is, therefore, an investigation and politicization mechanism of the work...

The notion of "sick workplace syndrome" is appropriate to describe the poor working conditions of many public organizations and to explain the health problems of public workers. In this paper, a case study in a public institution was carried out; its organization and its work design process were described. The results show that: this Public Institu...

This article proposes an industrial ergonomic design process that links three approaches:• a top-down approach that corresponds to a classical design phase in which the ergonomist will interact with the designers, in particular upstream from the projects;• a bottom-up approach, during which feedback will be analyzed in existing situations in order...

In response to Salerno's theoretical and methodological constraints to ergonomists participation in organisational design process, this paper proposes a new approach based in future work activity forecasting.
