Profound changes caused by technological advances, globalization and deregulation have occurred in the workplace, resulting in the rise of new forms of work organization. In this context, workers often need to be autonomous and polyvalent and information must be shared among many stakeholders, who must all coordinate their activities. The number of information asymmetries significantly increases in such situations. In this new working environment, health and safety management issues are often neglected, putting workers at greater risk. It is therefore relevant to examine how information regarding health and safety should be shared among principals and agents when it is available but cannot be communicated through traditional channels (employers, health and safety committees, prevention representatives) and legislative bodies have not yet ruled. In addition, it is crucial to address how responsibility for health and safety should be shared among the parties in such organizations. Finally, since the global economic crisis, some organizations limit health and safety prevention to regulatory compliance. It is critical to fully engage stakeholders in a more active prevention without having counterproductive impact on their organization. The proposed research program will examine and develop a systemic and systematic approach to the design of new strategies through which activities could be modified in order to improve health and safety while maintaining or improving efficiency or productivity. We shall focus on the information systems that are shared by principals and agents and on the development of technological tools to assist such persons in the co-construction of their action plans. The originality of this research program resides in the integration of health and safety considerations into new and increasingly prevalent forms of work organization and the introduction of prevention schemes that are adapted to these forms and could therefore have a positive impact on the management of operations. The proposal is innovative in that it promises to improve service operations, information technology and decision-making processes within new organizational systems.

由于技术进步、全球化和放松管制，工作场所发生了深刻的变化，导致新的工作组织形式的兴起。在这方面，工作人员往往需要自主和多功能，许多利益攸关方必须共享信息，他们必须协调各自的活动。在这种情况下，信息不对称的数量显著增加。 在这种新的工作环境中，健康和安全管理问题往往被忽视，使工人面临更大的风险。因此，有必要研究在有关健康和安全的信息已经存在但无法通过传统渠道（雇主、健康和安全委员会、预防代表）传播且立法机构尚未作出规定的情况下，应如何在委托人和代理人之间共享这些信息。此外，必须解决这些组织的各方如何分担健康和安全责任的问题。最后，自全球经济危机以来，一些组织将健康和安全预防局限于法规遵从。至关重要的是，要让利益攸关方充分参与更积极的预防工作，同时又不对他们的组织产生反作用。拟议的研究计划将审查和开发一个系统和系统的方法来设计新的战略，通过这些战略可以修改活动，以改善健康和安全，同时保持或提高效率或生产力。我们将侧重于委托人和代理人共享的信息系统，并侧重于开发技术工具，以协助这些人共同构建其行动计划。这项研究计划的独创性在于将健康和安全考虑纳入新的和日益普遍的工作组织形式，并引入适应这些形式的预防计划，因此可能对业务管理产生积极影响。这项建议具有创新性，因为它承诺在新的组织系统内改进服务业务、信息技术和决策过程。
