List of scientific presentations

The European directive 2006/42/CE promulgates the machine safe design principles to prevent professional risks. However, outside machines that have specific safety standards, the designers of special machines and manufacturing systems can…

This paper describes some results of ongoing work, in the joint INRS-ENSAM laboratory, on the integration of risk prevention in specifications for future working equipment (specialized machines, individual workstations, assembly lines, etc…

Safe design of work equipment is a regulatory obligation. To be effective, this concept of “safety by design” needs to be based on an overall vision of “working situations”.
In order to address this issue, INRS is proposing two complementary approaches…

With technological improvements and regulation evolutions, the work of product designers change too. They have to work on different aspects of a product such as technological, legal, environmental and safety at work. The European directive 2006…

With the aim of addressing the SME’s population, INRS (National Research Institute for Safety and Health) developed an online tool called MAVImplant, dedicated to the design of virtual workplace mockups. The SME’s strategy draws on the idea of proposing…

This presentation focuses on trades in design of work situations. We are proposing an emerging research project associating an engineer and an occupational psychologist. Our principal aim is to help designers to better take into account the…

Résumé à venir.

Movement variability is an essential characteristic of human movement: the same motor task is never performed in exactly the same way twice. This variability is related to the numerous redundancies in the human locomotor system, and depends…

Digital humans are software tools used for work equipment design. They can simulate the future workers’ activity and assess the workplace ergonomics. They therefore offer genuine advantages when prevention (safety and health) is to be integrated…
