De l'analyse des données à une démarche d'expression des travailleurs: Une approche integrée de la prévention

Brun, J.-P., 1990. Analysis of occupational accident reports and reactions of workers: An integrated approach to prevention. Journal of Occupational Accidents, 12: 307–319.

This article discribes an integrated approach to safety research which begins with the identification of typical circumstances of occurrence of occupational accidents. The data are obtained from the accident files of a state hydroelectricity company in Quebec and concern linemen, join-men and servicemen. The research also incorporates elaborate commentaries and reactions of workers on the safety problems they encounter on their work. It is concluded that this approach to research is useful as long as three conditions are met: (1) data from accident report files are varied and detailed, (2) results from data analysis are clear, and concrete, (3) workers are direcly involved in the search for solutions.
