Structures de communication (RSS)
Si les outils de communication électronique offrent de nombreuses potentialités techniques et organisationnelles, ils conduisent aussi à une profonde mutation des systèmes d'organisation des entreprises. Prenant appui sur des travaux menés par des chercheurs et les retours d'expérience des entreprises et des syndicats, l'ORSE (Observatoire sur la Responsabilité Sociétale des Entreprises) a fait un constat d'une montée des risques psychosociaux liés à de mauvais usages des courriels : sentiment d'urgence...
There is a wealth of information on workplace culture, interventions, capacity building and managing work health and safety risks. Less is known about socio-psychological factors, such as motivation, attitudes and perceptions that influence work health and safety policy, procedures, processes and outcomes. The main aim of the Motivations, Attitudes, Perceptions and Skills (MAPS) project was to collect information on the drivers of work health and safety behaviour and provide findings which will encourage policy discussion and inform the development and implementation of work health and safety policies...

Amongst the planned activities of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for 2009/10, a significant element is aimed at reaching and influencing two different audiences with regards to LEV (Local Exhaust Ventilation). These audiences are: supply-side stakeholders; and SME businesses that use LEV to control their employees' exposure to hazardous substances. To inform these activities, a qualitative research study was carried out with users and suppliers of LEV equipment in April, May and June 2009. Source : http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr787.htm
Young people with dyslexia may be at greater risk of getting hurt on the job, according to a new study from the Institute for Work & Health (IWH). “The early indicators are that dyslexia contributes to higher injury rates among young workers,” says IWH Scientist Dr. Curtis Breslin, who led the study. “It could be that the particular problems with reading, spelling and writing that characterize dyslexia make it more difficult to understand and remember safety training or contribute to poor supervisor-worker communications.” http://www.iwh.on.ca/media/2009-aug-17
When employees feel ambiguous about their role in the organization and there is a lack of clear-cut communication, they might be at higher risk for heart attacks over time, a new study suggests. The 18-year study from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health in Helsinki, Finland, examined the possible link between job control factors and heart attacks — acute myocardial infarction — among 7,663 private sector employees. http://ehstoday.com/news/unstable_workplace_heart_attack_1024/
