Abstract
- International audience; 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 analysis of accident-on-the-level data available at the establishments concerned, typology of these accidents, interviews with victims and activity analysis. Understanding accidents on the level through building scenarios makes it possible to consider the relevance of prevention actions, such as workplace or environmental design/remediation and machine access system design. Moreover, it also makes it possible to consider curtailing the injury-causing aspect of the physical environment by reducing its ‘aggressiveness’. Finally, the prospects emerging from this work in the research field are discussed.; L'objectif de ce travail fut d'approfondir les connaissances relatives aux contextes d'accidents de plain-pied survenus en situation professionnelle, afin d'être en capacité de proposer des actions adaptées à la prévention de ces accidents. L'étude s'est déroulée dans trois établissements d'une compagnie nationale de transport ferroviaire et fut basée sur l'analyse quantitative et qualitative des informations disponibles dans les établissements sur les accidents de plain-pied, la typologie de ces accidents, des entretiens avec des victimes ainsi que l'analyse d'activité. La compréhension des accidents de plain-pied apportée par la construction de scénarios permet d'étudier la pertinence d'actions de prévention telles que la conception/correction des locaux/environnements ou la conception des systèmes d'accès aux machines. Elle permet également d'envisager la réduction de l'aspect lésionnel de l'environnement matériel en réduisant son " agressivité ". Des perspectives dans le champ des études et recherches qui émanent de ce travail sont proposées.
