Outline 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…

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the long term pre-clinical effects of low-dose radiation on the micro-vascular structure among interventional physicians whose hands are exposed to ionizing radiation in their daily practice.
Methods…

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…

Exposure to aerosols from metalworking fluids (MWF) has been associated with several adverse health outcomes. This inconsistency in health effects might be related to the lack of exposure assessments considering the complex nature of MWF aerosols…

Outline of reasons and objectives
Working under time constraints is particularly difficult for ageing workers. “Leeway” or “room for manoeuvre” may enable regulation strategies to be put in place or production contingencies to be coped with more…

Although in recent years, the balance has swung away from industry and farming towards services, the proportion of workers who have to do physically arduous work remains large. In work having high physical demands, maintaining physical functional…

In all human movements, in particular those related to work activities, variability is observed. Even for a repetitive task, trajectories, muscular activities, or exerted forces are never identical, both for different people and for the same person…

Objectives
Agriculture is considered one of the occupations most at risk of acute or chronic respiratory problems. The aim of our study was to determine from which level of exposure to organic dust the respiratory function is chronically affected…

Time constraints can be particularly stressful for older workers in repetitive work. Opportunities for work rate regulation could offer a way of dealing with production variations. The aim of this laboratory study was to investigate the effects…

Repetitive work at required pace, as observed on assembly lines, is often characterized by reduced amounts of temporal margin of maneuver (TMM). Various epidemiological studies have shown that working under time constraints is particularly…
