Assigned protection factors of respiratory protective devices used on asbestos removal worksites ET2013-002 | 2013Outline of reasons and objectives
Following the expert appraisal work published in 2009 by the French Agency for Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (Agence Francaise de Securite Sanitaire de l’Environnement et du Travail) on asbestos… -
Exploratory study for an overall assessment of past and current constraints at work C.5/1.047 | 2010Outline of reasons and objectives
Repeated and/or prolonged exposure to physical, organisational, psychosocial, and environmental constraints at work can lead to a degradation in health. Various tools make it possible to assess such constraints… -
Ergonomic assessment of the surgeon's physical workload during standard and robotic assisted laparoscopic procedures NOETUDE/P2013-086 | 2013Standard laparoscopy is responsible for musculoskeletal problems because of surgeons anti-ergonomic positions. Robot-assisted laparoscopy seems to reduce these musculoskeletal disorders because of the surgeons seated position. The…

Fuzzy-TLX : using fuzzy integrals for evaluating human mental workload with NASA-Task Load indeX in laboratory and field studies A.8/3.018/P2012-089 | 2013Objectives: In mental workload assessment various load sources must be integrated to derive reliable workload estimates. We report a new algorithm for computing weights from qualitative fuzzy integrals and apply it to the NASA-TLX subscales…

Heat strain measurement using heart rate : cardiac thermal extra-pulses (CTEP) C.5/1.047/P2013-092/TM34 | 2014The results of working conditions surveys show that nearly one worker in five says exposed to heat. Conventional evaluation of thermal strain methods were designed for long exposures, continuous, in some thermal underwear but are particularly…

Strain recordings: Explanations about the effects of an anterior trunk support on the strain of a forward trunk bending posture A.4/1.017/P2013-162 | 2013Effectiveness of a belt supporting the trunk in flexion, positively assessed by a survey at work, was tested in 3 belt configurations (2 belts and no belt) and 3 tests (static and dynamic trunk flexion, work simulation).
Subjective and objective results… -
Cardio-respiratory and subjective strains sustained by paraplegic subjects, when travelling on a cros slope in a manual wheelchair (MWC). NOETUDE/P2012-187 | 2014The aim of this study was to quantify cardiac, energetic and subjective strains during manual wheelchair (MWC) travel on cross slopes (Cs). 25 paraplegics achieved eight 300 m propulsion tests combining 4 Cs (0, 2, 8 and 12%) and 2 velocities (Vi = 0.97 m s-1, Vc…

French good practice guidelines for management of the risk of low back pain among workers exposed to manual material handling: Hierarchical strategy of risk assessment of work situations NOETUDE/P2014-074 | 2016BACKGROUND: Manual material handling remains a major cause of occupational accidents and diseases in various sectors and occupations.
OBJECTIVE: This paper summarizes the main recommendations of the good practice guidelines of the French… -
Modelling and experimental characterisation of mechanical vibration propagation in the upper limb when using rotary handheld machinery EL2012-012 | 2012Outline of reasons and objectives
Today, in France, approximately 11% of salaried workers are exposed to vibration transmitted to the upper limb. Prolonged exposure to high levels of vibration can lead to a certain number of pathologies. To try… -
Musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. Work and individual risk factors NOETUDE/C2013-152 | 2013Objective: To relate functional capacities, work strains and upper limb musculoskeletal disorders (ulMSD) to define the content of a work analysis which allows an effective ulMSD prevention strategy.
Methods: A study was conducted in 3 factories…
