The operators of the electric power control centers perform an activity in a specialized environment and have to carry it out by mobilizing knowledge and reasoning to which they have adequate training under the terms of the existing rules. To reach this there is a common mental request of personnel involved in these centers due the need to maintain attention, memory and reasoning request. In this sense, this study aims to evaluate the Mental Workload of technical workers of the Control Centers of Electrical Energy. It was undertaken a research on operators control centers of the electricity sector in Northeast Brazil. It was used for systematic observations, followed by interview and application of the instrument National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index known as NASA-TLX. As a result there will be subsidies for an assessment of mental workload of operators, and a contribution to improving the processes of managing the operation of electric utilities and the quality of workers.&lt;/p&gt;

Within this context, the authors sought to understand how such a company has managed to maintain a policy that is capable of reconciling quality public transport while also providing working conditions compatible with the professional development, comfort and health of its workers. Ergonomic work analysis and activity analysis were the guiding elements used in this study. Initial analyses indicate that the activity of drivers includes serving a population and providing mobility for it, which depends on driving the vehicle itself and on relationships with colleagues, users, pedestrians, drivers and others.&lt;/p&gt;

One hundred and seven teachers (who were also parents) were randomly allocated to either a Workplace Triple P intervention condition or a waitlist control condition. Analyses indicated the intervention had a positive effect on a range of occupational variables including work-to-family conflict, family-to-work conflict, occupational stress and teaching efficacy. Intervention effects were also found for family- and personal adjustment-related variables including dysfunctional parenting styles, child behaviour, parenting efficacy, and depression and anxiety. Small to large effect sizes were obtained (Cohen&amp;#39;s d = .34-.85), and all intervention effects were maintained at 4-month follow-up. The results indicate that a parenting intervention can reduce work-family conflict and occupational stress and improve family functioning in teachers balancing work and family. The implications for supporting teachers with family interventions delivered in the workplace are discussed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;La moiti&amp;eacute; des travailleurs europ&amp;eacute;ens consid&amp;egrave;re que le stress li&amp;eacute; au travail est un probl&amp;egrave;me courant, et quatre personnes sur dix estiment que ce probl&amp;egrave;me n&amp;#39;est pas correctement pris en charge par leur employeur.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;L&amp;#39;ins&amp;eacute;curit&amp;eacute; de l&amp;#39;emploi et les restructurations apparaissent comme les causes premi&amp;egrave;res de stress li&amp;eacute; au travail.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Peu de gens ont connaissance des politiques et programmes d&amp;#39;aide aux travailleurs qui poursuivent leur carri&amp;egrave;re jusqu&amp;#39;&amp;agrave; l&amp;#39;&amp;acirc;ge de la retraite et au-del&amp;agrave;, bien qu&amp;#39;une majorit&amp;eacute; soutienne la mise en place de telles mesures.&lt;/li&gt;

There are eight e-learning modules in the curriculum: modules 1-7 are recommended for health care workers and module 8 is recommended for staff involved with behavioural care planning. It is also recommended that this curriculum is supplemented with site-specific information to ensure workers can apply specific violence prevention strategies at their workplace.&lt;/p&gt;

Toutefois, tr&amp;egrave;s peu de publications analysent les &amp;eacute;volutions apr&amp;egrave;s la mise en place de mesures pour lutter contre ce facteur de risque psychosocial. C&amp;#39;est le but de cette &amp;eacute;tude. &lt;strong&gt;M&amp;eacute;thodes &lt;/strong&gt;: Deux enqu&amp;ecirc;tes ont &amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute; r&amp;eacute;alis&amp;eacute;es en octobre 2009 et 2011. Le premier &amp;eacute;chantillon est compos&amp;eacute; de 150 salari&amp;eacute;s et la deuxi&amp;egrave;me comporte 108 salari&amp;eacute;s. Soixante-quatorze salari&amp;eacute;s ont particip&amp;eacute; aux deux enqu&amp;ecirc;tes et ont &amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute; appari&amp;eacute;s. Le personnel a &amp;eacute;t&amp;eacute; invit&amp;eacute; &amp;agrave; participer volontairement aux deux enqu&amp;ecirc;tes et a rempli trois questionnaires. &lt;strong&gt;R&amp;eacute;sultats &lt;/strong&gt;: L&amp;#39;&amp;eacute;tude montre une stabilit&amp;eacute; concernant la sant&amp;eacute; per&amp;ccedil;ue m&amp;eacute;diocre, les accidents, les hospitalisations, les arr&amp;ecirc;ts-maladies, la prise de m&amp;eacute;dicaments, les troubles musculo-squelettiques, la d&amp;eacute;tresse psychosociale et le stress au travail. Cependant, il existe une nette diminution de l&amp;#39;iso-strain et une am&amp;eacute;lioration de sa composante, le soutien social. Il s&amp;#39;agit des r&amp;eacute;sultats les plus importants de cette &amp;eacute;tude. L&amp;#39;iso-strain diminue surtout chez les femmes (p &amp;lt; 0,002) et les employ&amp;eacute;s (p &amp;lt; 0,001). L&amp;#39;am&amp;eacute;lioration du soutien professionnel des sup&amp;eacute;rieurs et des coll&amp;egrave;gues b&amp;eacute;n&amp;eacute;ficie aux femmes et aux employ&amp;eacute;s, l&amp;#39;am&amp;eacute;lioration du soutien &amp;eacute;motionnel des sup&amp;eacute;rieurs et des coll&amp;egrave;gues profite surtout aux employ&amp;eacute;s. Ces variables sont associ&amp;eacute;es aux troubles psychologiques et aux troubles musculo-squelettiques. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion&lt;/strong&gt; : La nette diminution d&amp;#39;iso-strain et l&amp;#39;am&amp;eacute;lioration du soutien social constituent des r&amp;eacute;sultats encourageants qui incitent &amp;agrave; poursuivre les efforts pour combattre les facteurs de stress au travail.&lt;/p&gt;

Despite the inherent dangers associated with this sector, worker protection is limited. &lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt; This article describes the current occupational health and safety policies and regulatory standards in the AgFF sector and underscores the regulatory exceptions and limitations in worker protections. Immigration policies and their effects on worker health and safety are also discussed. Emphasis is placed on policies and practices in the Southeastern US. &lt;strong&gt;Results&lt;/strong&gt; Worker protection in the AgFF sector is limited. Regulatory protections are generally weaker than other industrial sectors and enforcement of existing regulations is woefully inadequate. The vulnerability of the AgFF workforce is magnified by worker immigration status. Agricultural workers in particular are affected by a long history of &amp;ldquo;exceptionalism&amp;rdquo; under the law as many regulatory protections specifically exclude this workforce. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;A vulnerable workforce and high-hazard industries require regulatory protections that, at a minimum, are provided to workers in other industries. A systematic policy approach to strengthen occupational safety and health in the AgFF sector must address both immigration policy and worker protection regulations.&lt;/p&gt;

The purpose of this study was to describe acts of physical violence against emergency nurses perceived as stressful using a qualitative descriptive design with a national sample of emergency nurses. The guiding conceptual model for the study was the Ecological Occupational Health Model of Workplace Assault. Narrative accounts of physical violence were analyzed using a constant comparative analysis method. Key findings included risks related to employee, workplace, and aggressor factors, and descriptions of physical violence. Discussion of the study findings suggests that efforts to prevent violence and promote workplace safety need to focus on designing work environments that allow for the quick egress of employees, establishing and consistently enforcing policies aimed at violence prevention, and maintaining positive working relationships with security officers. While patients with mental health or substance use complaints are deemed most likely to commit physical violence, they are not the only patients to become violent. Risk reduction efforts should target all patients and visitors.&lt;/p&gt;

Mais leur mise en place suscite encore bien des interrogations du point de vue des entreprises : Comment g&amp;eacute;rer la mobilit&amp;eacute; croissante des employ&amp;eacute;s ? Quels impacts en mati&amp;egrave;re d&amp;#39;&amp;eacute;quilibre entre vie priv&amp;eacute;e et vie professionnelle ? Quels outils pour organiser le t&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;travail ? Quelles solutions pour travailler entre le bureau et le domicile ? Quel r&amp;ocirc;le pour les collectivit&amp;eacute;s dans l&amp;#39;&amp;eacute;mergence de nouveaux espaces de travail ? Quels sont ou seront leurs mod&amp;egrave;les &amp;eacute;conomiques ? Quels services et usages peut-on imaginer dans ces lieux ?&amp;nbsp;[...] Ce document donne un &amp;eacute;tat des lieux chiffr&amp;eacute; du t&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;travail en 2012. Il appara&amp;icirc;t que la France est en train de combler son retard en la mati&amp;egrave;re face &amp;agrave; d&amp;#39;autres pays europ&amp;eacute;ens pr&amp;eacute;curseurs comme le Royaume Uni ou les Pays-Bas. Le recours au t&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;travail est moins associ&amp;eacute; &amp;agrave; une facilit&amp;eacute; d&amp;#39;applications li&amp;eacute;es au m&amp;eacute;tier qu&amp;#39;&amp;agrave; l&amp;#39;&amp;eacute;volution de la culture manag&amp;eacute;riale des entreprises.&amp;nbsp;Il ressort de l&amp;#39;enqu&amp;ecirc;te que deux tiers des salari&amp;eacute;s qui t&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;travaillent le font dans un cadre non r&amp;eacute;glementaire, seuls un tiers &amp;eacute;tant couvert par un accord au sein de leur entreprise. Ce Livre blanc pointe &amp;eacute;galement les enjeux de ce mode d&amp;#39;organisation &amp;agrave; la fois pour les salari&amp;eacute;s et les employeurs ainsi que des points de vigilance. L&amp;#39;autre partie de l&amp;#39;&amp;eacute;tude concerne les tiers lieux. Il s&amp;#39;agit de nouveaux lieux de travail &amp;laquo; hybrides &amp;raquo; (coworking, t&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;centres) &amp;agrave; mi-chemin entre bureau et domicile, destin&amp;eacute;s &amp;agrave; des t&amp;eacute;l&amp;eacute;travailleurs ou des travailleurs ind&amp;eacute;pendants. &lt;/p&gt;

The authors also hypothesize that safety program&amp;ndash;focused justice perceptions and the absence of job distractions provide the workplace conditions necessary to support this engagement. Further, safety-specific job engagement mediates the prediction of occupational near misses by justice perceptions and job distractions. Results of a survey administered to 2,488 full-time employees working in the manufacturing, nuclear research and production, and mining industries provide support for the hypothesized relationships among the individual constructs and partial support for the mediation hypothesis. Through structural equation modeling, the authors found that safety-specific job engagement mediated the relationship between safety program&amp;ndash;focused justice perceptions and near misses. Another finding was that the relationship among job distractions, safety-specific job engagement, and near misses is more complex, and a clear understanding of their relationship is subject to future investigation.&lt;/p&gt;
