Objective: Sustained return to work after surgery for work-related rotator cuff syndrome (WRRCS) remains quite difficult. The main purpose of the present study was to identify predictive factors of a return-to-work (RTW) trajectory.
Methods: 96…

Servomotor presses are innovative machines and their sales are increasing. Development of servomotors and the recent arrival on the market of power drive systems, featuring so-called “pre-defined” safety functions, have contributed to their…

The quickening pace of technological change is resulting in more and more constructors and renovators of machinery using automatic safety dedicated PLC to ensure both machine control and operator safety functions.
INRS, within the context…

Work on a machine or a manufacturing process subjects operators to many risks mostly due to presence of multiple sources of energy (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.). The paper entitled “Operating on machinery out of production…

In the design of machines, the designer must face up to safety legislative obligations. These constraints, to be added to all the other requirements (costs, times, production...), are taken into account in a secondary way and often too late in the design…

This thesis report describes an experimental study of thermal plume development in a confined, ventilated environment. These conditions are encountered in displacement ventilation facilities. Experiments were conducted in a 5.6 m high ventilation…
