“…To formalize TESs, work activities can be described through operating modes, logic of action, temporal continuity and occurrence, event and incident, normal or degraded mode, information sought (formal and informal), contacts and contamination (direct and indirect), respiratory track distance, physical strain, resources and constraints during the activity. The determinants can be for their part characterised through the following dimensions [8]:…”

“…Worker interventions on these processes lead to potential exposures to micro and nanoparticles. The theoretical framework used in this article is founded on the work carried out over the last 30 years in design ergonomics, to take into account real work situations (typical action/exposure situations and settings of usage) in order to define requirements for design projects [5][6][7][8][9][10]. More precisely, typical action situation (TAS) is turned in typical exposure situation (TES) to describe how this analysis unit of exposing work activities can help to develop prevention.…”

“…More precisely, typical action situation (TAS) is turned in typical exposure situation (TES) to describe how this analysis unit of exposing work activities can help to develop prevention. In this way, the method developed in this article is based on the knowledge of activity-centred ergonomics [11,12] and ergotoxicology [8,13,14] 3) These TASs are then projected by reconstructing the future action by following a temporal sequence and identifying the constraints and resources that appear (e.g. information processing, collaboration modalities, physiological strain).…”

“…Method implemented in an aeronautics company to design a metal additive manufacturing plant using typical exposure situations (TESs).ity observations was 21 h, involving 6 workers.A detailed presentation of the exposure measurement method is available[34]. The synchronization of real-time aerosol measurements with videos of the work activity[35] allowed the identification of several TESs[8]. Variations in exposure could be associated with the workers' actions.2-Then, collective confrontation interviews were conducted with the management (2h09 min), the health and safety committee (1 h), and the workers (1h46 min) of the site 1.…”

BACKGROUND: Industry 4.0 generates risks renewing stakes for design projects integrating work activities, as can be done in activity centred ergonomics and participatory ergonomics. OBJECTIVE: This article aims to show the contribution of using typical situations to define requirements for Industry 4.0 design projects from a case study supporting a design project for a plant of the future assembling additive metal manufacturing processes (SLM type) in aeronautics. METHOD: The method is based on construction of the approach, the identification of typical exposure or action situations (through video and measurement) on four different company sites, three collective confrontation interviews (using typical situations) similar to reflexive and constructive simulations, and the setting of requirements. RESULTS: Results highlights specific exposure situations during the work, which the collective confrontation interviews made it possible to understand, enabling to collectively debate organisational, technical or social determinants, in order to define requirements from the point of view of the work, within the framework of the design project. CONCLUSION: Discussion of exposure situation allows an initial framework to discuss way to implement the work differently as a first step to transform the current situations during the design process. The observation of the possible use of requirements in project management can then be carried out. This exploratory work makes it possible to observe the contribution of the use of typical exposure situations as a complement to typical action situations in order to specify exposure situations and identify transformation perspectives.

“…Given that the products used in the occupational environment total tens of thousands, and the controls implemented to ensure compliance with OELs are very limited, we can wonder whether the growing investment in the precision of toxicological data and expertise should be given such a high priority, compared to gaining insight into real-work situations of exposure and how to limit them—as, for example, proposed by innovative ergo-toxicology approaches. 24…”

This article analyzes the consequences of the increasing reference to scientific expertise in the decision and implementation process of occupational health policy. Based on examples (exposure limits and attributable fractions) taken from an interdisciplinary seminar conducted in 2014 to 2015 in France, it shows how the measurement or regulation of a problem through biomedicine-based tools produces blind spots. It also uses a case study to show the contradictions between scientific and academic aims and public health intervention. Other indirect implications are also examined, such as the limitation of trade unions’ scope for action. Finally, the article suggests launching a broad political debate accessible to nonspecialists about collective occupational health issues—a dialogue made difficult by the rise of the afore-mentioned techno-scientific perspective.
