“…The stretching exercises used in this study were selected based on information from Lee et al [1992], who conducted a comprehensive review of numerous exercises to assess their suitability for VDT workplaces. A set of nine exercises, all of which satisfied biomechanical criteria for safety and practical criteria for minimal work disruption and conspicuity, were chosen.…”

“…35 Concernant la pratique professionnelle de la préparation physique, de nombreux programmes souvent portés par des physiothérapeutes (kinésithérapeutes) sont montés, parfois en partenariat avec des entreprises, des groupements d'assurance ou des institutions (Miller&Long Concrete Construction, État du Texas, Hartford Insurances…) dans une logique de prévention et de réduction des coûts (en lien avec le dispositif de financement privé de la santé). Toutefois, à cette époque, nombre de ces programmes ne visent pas les postes de travail dits « industriels », mais sont orientés vers les postes de travail informatisés (Lee, Swanson, Sauter, Wickstrom, Waikar, & Mangum, 1992 ;Thomas, Butterfield, Hool, & Herrick, 1993) 37 Les contraintes des ouvriers du bâtiment, si elles ne sont certes pas identiques en tous points avec celles des ouvriers de l'agroalimentaire, présentent des similarités : des ports de charges lourdes, répétés (une barre de jambon reconstitué pouvant peser 27 kgs, par exemple), des postures inadaptées, des ambiances froides, humides… La logique apparaît, pour certains acteurs, imparable : n'est-il pas en effet pertinent de s'échauffer quand on travaille dans un milieu froid et a fortiori avec de nombreuses contraintes physiques ? Des initiatives pour s'engager sur la voie des échauffements seront ainsi localement portées au sein de la filière agro-alimentaire et notamment pour la production de produits carnés.…”

L’article présente un cas d’intervention ergonomique proposant la préparation physiologique des ouvriers comme levier de prévention des Troubles Musculo-Squelettiques dans le secteur agroalimentaire. Dans une entreprise dont les activités présentent de fortes contraintes organisationnelles et physiologiques, la place des marges de manœuvre dans un tel dispositif est questionnée. La mise en œuvre d’échauffements au sein d’une entreprise nécessite d’une part de disposer de compétences tant ergonomiques que sur la préparation physiologique. D’autre part, l’intégration des échauffements, forme de préparation physiologique ici mise en œuvre, imposerait une construction sociale spécifique de l’intervention. Enfin, les conditions de réussite du projet tant du point de vue des intervenants que de l’entreprise devraient être posées au préalable afin de garantir le succès du dispositif global de prévention.

PrefaceMan is the best thing in the World. Nature does nothing uselessly. AristotleThere is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more. John BurroughsThe basic purpose of development is to enlarge people's choices. The objective of development is to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy long, healthy and creative lives. Mahbub ul Hag Founder of the Human Development ReportThe aim of this book is to provide a compiled set of concepts, principles, methods and issues used for studying, designing and operating human-minding and natureminding automation and industrial systems. The depth of presentation is sufficient for the reader to understand the problems involved and the solution approaches, and appreciate the need of human-automation cooperative interaction, and the importance of the efforts required for environment and ecosystem protection during any technological and development process in the society. Humans and technology are living and have to live together in a sustainable society and nature. Humans must not be viewed as components of automation and technology in the same way as machines. Automation and technology must incorporate the humans' needs and preferences, and radiate "beauty" in all ways, namely functionally, technically and humanistically. In overall, automation and technology should create comfort and give pleasure.The achievement of human-minding or human-centered automation was made possible by employing concepts and techniques of the human factors and ergonomics field. This is the easy part of the human-and nature minding-automation and technology story. To achieve truly nature-minding industry and automation, more complex and difficult decisions and tools are required. The partners here are not only the machines and the scientists or engineers, but also the politicians and vii viii Preface governors worldwide. Nature-minding design has to determine the way a product is produced on the basis of its impact to the nature and ecosystem, including pollution, waste generation, biodiversity decrease, and consumption of the earth resources. A society can be developed in a truly sustainable way if it adopts as a whole the human, economic, natural and cultural resources, not only in the short term but also in the long term. In our time the problems of human, automation/technology, and nature sustainable symbiosis have become more difficult and crucial than ever.This book provides a consolidated tutorial overview of the...
