Organic solvents are used in the industrial environment, and the combined exposure to noise and solvents (pure or in mixtures) is of concern to numerous workers from various economic sectors.
Although the effects of organic solvents on the central…

The use of hearing protection devices (HPDs), such as earplugs, is essential for mitigating occupational noise-induced hearing loss. However, earplug discomfort often hinders consistent and proper usage. This international and multidisciplinary…

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…

Augmented reality (AR) uses digital information to enhance our perception of the real world. Smart glasses (SG) are an example of AR, displaying information within the wearer s field of view. Although SG offer advantages, such as leaving one s hands…

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…

In France, many workers are exposed daily to noise levels that are potentially dangerous for hearing. For prevention purposes, individual hearing protectors are in widespread use. The comfort of the earplugs directly affects the effective protection…

Connected Glasses are augmented reality devices that enable hands-free remote communication. This technology, which is still emerging in the workplace, raises questions about the risk of accidents when employees are walking while wearing…

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…

Drivers of mobile machinery are exposed to vibrations and unfavourable postures that can lead to low back disorders. Measurements of the dynamic response (apparent mass and head-seat transmissibility) of the body exposed to vibration in the…
