| Résumé : | Dogniaux, A., 1978. Quantitative and qualitative approach to an industrial safety problem. Journal of Occupational Accidents, 1: 311-330. The case of a Belgian foundry is studied in its work safety aspects. A statistical approach exploring various parameters provides evidence for a paradoxical situation: the unit of the factory that is expected to be the most dangerous, according to technical criteria, is in fact the safest. A psychosociological approach tries to bring some explanation by studying the attitude of the personnel towards the factory's norms and its philosophy of safety. The need for a global socio-technical analysis is illustrated as a condition for a diagnosis in order to assist future prevention. © 1978. |
