A study of parameters associated with flammability and explosibility of damp wood dust samples NOETUDE/P2009-049/NS284 | 2010

After recalling the dust explosion mechanism and definitions of a number of dusty atmosphere characteristics, this brochure presents experimental results for explosibility characteristics obtained with three damp wood dust samples taken…
Feasibility of identifying and detecting events that are precursors of hazardous situations in an integrated digital architecture EL2015-011 | 2015

In the field of risk prevention, return on experience (ROE) is one of the possible strategies for risk control. It can thus be used for corrective purposes by a posteriori analysis of incidents and accidents, and it can also be implemented for preventive…

Preventing plant-pedestrian collisions: Camera & screen systems and visibility from the driving position A.5/1.073/P2013-199 | 2016

The issue of collisions between plant or site vehicles and pedestrians concerns numerous sectors of activity. Lack of visibility for drivers over their direct environments is one of the main causes of such accidents, which are often serious…
Evaluation of camera-screen systems for pedestrian detection A.5/1.073/P2014-161/DO 6 | 2014

What are the criteria to be met to ensure proper operation of camera/screen systems for detecting pedestrians ? An evaluation of the devices available today provides some answers. In particular, the apparent size of the pedestrian on the screen…
Effect of noise on comfort in open-plan offices: application of an assessment questionnaire. C.1/1.063/P2015-106 | 2016

Open-plan offices account for 60% of French office workspaces. The noise levels recorded in this type of environment are much lower than those encountered in industrial workplaces. Nevertheless, surveys show that noise is considered by employees…
Human-robot coactivity: analysis of the needs and of the prevention means EL2015-012 | 2015

In view of the mechanical risks generated by industrial robotics, robots are isolated from humans by physical protective barriers, the work zones dedicated to robots being identified and marked out, thereby preventing any action by humans within…
