Résumé: Les objectifs de ce travail de recherche sont de fournir un état actualisé de la manière dont sont gérés les risques professionnels au sein d'un échantillon d'entreprises du Maroc, de souligner les contraintes et les efforts réalisés en la matière et de proposer des recommandations pour améliorer la gestion des risques professionnels et les conditions de travail. Pour les réaliser, nous nous sommes basés sur la collecte de données, à partir des résultats d'analyse d'une enquête réalisée sous forme d'un questionnaire relatif à la gestion des risques dans 40 entreprises marocaines opérant dans diverses activités du tissu économique du pays, en faisant référence aux textes législatifs du Code du travail marocain (Loi 65-99). Quatre axes principaux qui composent le système de gestion des risques dans les entreprises ont été envisagés, à savoir : 1) les ressources humaines ; 2) les risques d'atteinte à l'environnement ; 3) les risques touchant les personnes ; et 4) le patrimoine des entreprises. En conclusion, nous avons formulé les recommandations nécessaires pour redresser la situation. Le système de gestion des risques dans les entreprises marocaines présente un certain nombre de faiblesses et de contraintes à surmonter. Certaines entreprises, objets de l'enquête, ne disposent pas de service médical de travail indépendant ou commun à certaines d'entre elles. L'environnement de l'entreprise souffre également de plusieurs faiblesses. Plusieurs entreprises ne disposent pas encore de mesures strictes pour préserver leur milieu naturel. Afin de redresser la situation, plusieurs recommandations ont été proposées. Parmi celles-ci : la réduction des risques professionnels d'atteinte aux personnes et au patrimoine de l'entreprise par la mise en place de moyens de prévention et de protection adéquats ; l'atténuation des risques et impacts négatifs sur l'environnement par une meilleure gestion des rejets nocifs ; le respect des dispositions réglementaires du Code du travail et la généralisation de la couverture sociale et médicale des travailleurs. The purpose of this study is to update current knowledge about occupational risks in companies in Morocco, to highlight the efforts made and the constraints in this area, and to propose recommendations to improve the management of occupational risks and working conditions. Our data come from a survey (self-administered questionnaire) about risk management in 40 Moroccan companies operating in various sectors. We refer in this study to the legislative texts of the Moroccan labor code (law 65-99). Our work has four main components covering the corporate risk management system: 1) human resources, 2) risks to the environment, 3) risks to people and 4) company property. Risk management in Moroccan companies is fairly poor, and several impediments must be overcome. Some of the companies surveyed have neither independent nor shared (with other companies) medical services. The business environment also has serious weaknesses. Several companies do not yet have strict measures in place to preserve their natural environment. We offer several recommendations to improve this situation, including: reducing occupational risks of harm to the company's people and assets by introducing appropriate prevention and protection measures; mitigating risks and negative impacts on the environment through better management of harmful discharges; complying with the regulatory provisions of the Labor Code and generalizing workers' social and medical coverage.

Abstract: Incidents and accidents analysis is one part of risk management in healthcare organisations. It is based on methods such as healthcare process analysis and the Association of Litigation and Risk Management (ALARM) method, to understand not only immediate causes but also root causes. The goal is to implement relevant remedial and preventive actions to secure healthcare processes. The hospital''s risk management unit has to be involved in the methodological analysis of every grade zero transfusion incident. The system is based on a retrospective analysis process in compliance with the French National Authority for Health''s ongoing requirements for risk reactive approach, allowing to identify failures and start relevant actions. Healthcare teams should overcome difficulties in order to be totally involved in the process. Human factors recognition, establishment of clear and effective communication between individuals and critical points of control should provide optimum quality care services that are safe and free of unnecessary risks.

Abstract: The sanitary vigilances represent a permanent sanitary surveillance. They signal, enregister, treat and investigate the adverse events occurring through the use of health products. They assure the traceability of these health products and the management of the sanitary alerts. The sanitary vigilances are part of the sanitary security. They are optimized when coordinated and integrated to the global risk management process of the health care establishments. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

L'interrogation centrale de cet article est la suivante: dans le - très risqué - contexte kinois, quelles sont les stratégies mises en œuvre par les maraîchers et que révèlent ces stratégies sur les capacités de ces derniers? Les deux premières sections posent les bases conceptuelles de l'analyse, en plaçant la question des risques au cœur de l'approche par les capacités et en proposant une approche faisant des stratégies des personnes un proxy acceptable de leurs capacités. Les troisième et quatrième sections confrontent cette discussion théorique aux données recueillies lors d'un travail de terrain mené dans trois périmètres maraîchers de Kinshasa.

Nowadays, information system is recognised as one of the key points of the management strategy. An information system is regarded conceptualised as a mean to link 3 aspects of a firm (structure, organisation rules and staff). Its design and implementation have to meet the objectives of medical and economical evaluation, especially risk management objectives. In order to identify, analyse, reduce and prevent the occurence of adverse events, and also to measure the efficacy and efficiency of the production of care services, the design of information systems should be based on a process analysis in order to describe and classify all the working practices within the hospital. According to various methodologies (usually top-down analysis), each process can be divided into activities. Each activity (especially each care activity) can be described according to its potential risks and expected results. For care professionals performing a task, the access to official or internal guidelines and the adverse events reporting forms has also to be defined. Putting together all the elements of such a process analysis will contribute to integrate, into daily practice, the management of risks, supported by the information system. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: The Alps-Mediterranean division of the French blood establishment (EFS Alpes-Mediterranée) has implemented a risk management program. Within this framework, the labile blood product distribution process was assessed to identify critical steps. Subsequently, safety measures were instituted including computer-assisted decision support, detailed written instructions and control checks at each step. Failure of these measures to prevent an incident underlines the vulnerability of the process to the human factor. Indeed root cause analysis showed that the incident was due to underestimation of the danger by one individual. Elimination of this type of risk will require continuous training, testing and updating of personnel. Identification and reporting of nonconformities will allow personnel at all levels (local, regional, and national) to share lessons and implement appropriate risk mitigation strategies.
