Integrating occupational health and safety in operations management for autonomous and polyvalent work

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，导致了新的工作组织形式的兴起。在这种情况下，工作人员通常需要自治和多价值，信息必须在许多利益相关者之间共享，这些利益相关者必须协调他们的活动。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，有必要研究如何在可以获得但不能通过传统渠道（雇主、健康和安全委员会、预防代表）和立法机构尚未作出裁决的情况下，在委托人和代理人之间分享有关健康和安全的信息。此外，至关重要的是要解决如何在这些组织的各方之间分担健康和安全的责任。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。关键是要让利益相关者充分参与更积极的预防，而不会对其组织产生适得其反的影响。拟议的研究方案将审查和制定一种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，以便在保持或提高效率或生产力的同时改善健康和安全。我们会把重点放在委托人和代理人共用的资讯系统，以及发展技术工具，协助他们共同制订行动计划。该研究方案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，从而可能对业务管理产生积极影响。该提案的创新之处在于，它承诺在新的组织体系内改善服务运作、信息技术和决策过程。

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.
